I couldn’t put this book down, it was just the romantasy book I was looking for!
The familial relationships and friendships in this book was a major standout for me. I felt that each side character was developed and dynamic, and it made the tension and the relationships between the characters that much more compelling, as it really drove the story and made me feel for the characters.
I will say that I wish the romance side-plots and the competition aspect were a bit more fleshed out. I still believed the tension and stakes of the competition and felt that the connection between the laws were strong, but it would’ve been fun to explore that relationship and have more competitions on the page.
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read the next installment!
