4.5

I absolutely loved this book. I'm giving it 4.5 stars, only because I wish it had been longer. I felt like there could have been a little more detail and world building, but maybe that's just me being greedy for more. 

The books is about 350 pages, enemies to lovers romantasy, and it is a closed door romance. This book is about Freya discovering herself and her powers and how they play into the world around her. 

This is a phenomenal debut novel
