I wanted to love this book and had heard so many fantastic reviews that my hopes were quite high. I still enjoyed it, but it was too predictable for me. While I expect a little predictability in a romantic fantasy, this felt like some pieces of lore were only introduced as a foreshadowing element.
I also felt like one of the romances was not really believable and the enemies to lovers timeline was a bit rushed for me to fully be rooting for them as a couple.
But the world building was fantastic and I’m excited to see where it goes from here. I will continue reading the series.
