Oh. My. God. Why do I keep reading books with cliffhangers and unfinished endings? This book hit me with shock after shock, and I felt so incredibly sad for Nyleeria. At the same time, I absolutely hate Thaddeus. His character did a complete 360. It reminded me of Tamlin and Feyre—going from kind, loving, and sweet to a total jerk.

I loved some of the side characters, though. Endymion was my favorite, followed by Fiora, Myron, and Caius. The whole fae world and their powers were fascinating. But I absolutely hated Amos for what he did to Nyleeria—it was beyond cruel.

The story was so unpredictable, and I couldn’t wrap my head around how much Nyleeria had to endure. After everything she suffered in her childhood, she still had to go through so much more. It broke my heart for her. How can life be so cruel to just one person? And why do people hide so many secrets just to get what they want? I’ll never forgive Thaddeus for what he did, and I really hope Nyleeria gets her happy ending because this is way too much for a 21-year-old girl.

The story flowed so well and kept me craving more. The writing was immersive and beautifully done. If you love fantasy worlds with lots of twists and turns, I’d definitely recommend this book. But it does deal with heavy themes, so I’d suggest checking out the trigger warnings first. Overall, it’s a fantastic story!
