This book was very interesting and refreshing. Lately, most romantasy books I’ve read have felt quite similar, but this one stood out a bit—even though it still shared some common tropes.

I definitely saw the protagonist’s identity coming. Unfortunately, I also knew Jonas wouldn’t remain the main love interest because of some fan art I stumbled upon (I just couldn’t avoid it!). I expected he would either die or be Tamlinized—a word I just made up to mean “turned bad”, if you know, you know 🤣—and it turned out to be the latter, which was disappointing. He is waaaaaay worse than Tamlin 😭

However, the reveal about Rey around the 90% mark genuinely surprised me, and that was exciting!

The sunshine x grumpy trope isn’t my favorite, but I’ll keep reading, since this book is anything but conclusive.
