Okay first of all, why didn’t you guys told me that fantasy books where THAT addictive?!? My god I feel like I’ve been in some sort of trance since starting this book..

I’ve already gave you a heads up in my stories but I’m officially obsessed with this book, I loved it.

This story is magical, in multiple ways and you found yourself quickly becoming addicted to the plot, it’s well written, the characters are relatable and what’s more important they’re interesting!! I mean I craved to know more about Ailia’s powers, and died to know more about Callum, and poor Reed I needed to know if he could handle the situation or if it would all go off the rails 😅

The trio was meant to do this together and they fitted so well, you can’t honestly hate any of them not even for a second, which is weird for me because I tend to resent one of the characters if there’s a trio situation 🤭 but I really loved the three of them, they were so fun to know 🫶🏻

It’s such a great and magical adventure 🧝🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♂️🧝🏻

You can easily tell that Haley put so much love into this story, and she explains the whole thing so well through the book it just comes natural for you to understand the world she’s putting us into 💖

The ending left me speechless, I was like “WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?” and I think that’s beautiful because it shows just how much I cared about this book. So yes, I do recommend this one 🫶🏻

And I encourage you to always support indie authors ✨
