Dark and delicious with several WTF moments. This book is well written and pulls you in with the kind of twisted things you would expect from Game of Thrones. Burning innocent children, corrupted kings, malevolent gods, and broken characters. This book starts with a gut punch and then keeps trekking into crazy moments and whacked out themes. Itβs freaking amazing!
Important Note:β¨
Thereβs a cliffhanger, but book 2 is already out.

I really enjoyed this book! It did take me a little while to connect with Sage at the beginning although the sibling dynamic was great. After we met Von, however, I absolutely fell in love with the sass she had and the banter in their relationship. I loved twists and turns which kept me in suspense and the quirky and sarcastically fun aspect of the story was a nice balance to the more serious themes throughout.
I thought the world-building and the magical and political systems were very interesting, and I am intrigued to see how these develop in subsequent books.
I loved the ending and can't believe I didn't guess who Sage is, I did get an inkling about Von, however ;).I am also glad that Sage saw Kaleb at the end and there is potential for him to be involved later. I am really looking forward to the next book! Can't wait! - I was fortunate to receive this book as an ARC from the author
