This was a first from this author. The story started a bit slow, but picked up at a satisfying pace. Pacing was consistent and then got better as the book went along. The author’s writing is really on point and it keeps you engaged and informed the whole time. Story is told in dual POV in a past and present format. It can be confusing at first, but you quickly get the hang of it.
The storyline was interesting and engaging. I found the world building unique. It centers around a political war between the magistrates in the city. This book is Romantasy, but I’d say it’s centered around Gods/goddesses, politics, and power. Tensions are high and the characters are fighting for power and their lives. I haven’t read anything like this so it was very refreshing to see something different. The characters were interesting and I loved the main characters dynamic. I was rooting for them the whole time.
This story is a clean YA/NA romance so there are no in-depth spicy scenes or foul language. (What is in there is very toned down.) There is a lovely forbidden romance trope that I absolutely loved.
I am really intrigued and hoping there’s more to this story (book 2). I want to see what the future holds for our main characters. It’s almost like you get to know them and the book ends. With the way it ended, it did lead me to believe there is more to the story. I honestly can’t wait for more! I will be ready when the author puts it out.
I listened to the audiobook and narration was good. Narrators were perfect. This is a dual narration audiobook. Roughly 11 hrs listening time.
