What a brilliant and heart wrenching book that sucks you in until you suddenly realize you're on the last page and you wish you hadn't read it before the second one comes out. My heart literally feels like its been torn from my chest and I am so in love with Maris and Luca and so devastated at what fate has brought them.
This story begins in almost the middle of the end and we find ourselves traveling back and forth form the past to the present as Maris and Luca recount the story of who they were and who they became now and a love that surpassed all expectations that neither of them expected in their life. While at the center of it this is a tragic love story that we may not know the end to, it is more so a fantastic fantasy novel set in the vibes of ancient Rome, where the Gods are revered but also not trusted by many. We haven't met any of these Gods and the story of how some people of Isara got their magic is a dark one. But there is a lot more at play than just the Gods, there is war and a fight between the upper and lower class, along with this intertwining tragedy of love from the two people who seem to be fated to be on opposite sides forever.
I literally could not put this down and became so enthralled by the writing and the world that I feel utterly empty after finishing this and it's not even OUT yet and now I have to wait for who knows how long for the next one??
immediately go get this- even if you don't read anything "romantic" because honestly its so beautiful anyone who loves some good old war and political turmoil will also love this.
🌶️: 1/5
