I am such a sucker for fantasy and murder
mysteries. Adding them both together? Absolute chefs kiss!! The characters were all amazingly loveable and reading each of their chapters was enjoyable, which i feel is rare in multi-POV books. Overall outstanding and I am “patiently” waiting and high looking forward to the sequel!

I have this book 5 stars because it was very entertaining to read, had great plot twists, and I fell in love with all the characters. I also loved that romance was a subplot and it wasn’t all up in your face so you could focus on the story but also enjoy some romance in the side. You should definitely read this book because I was a 5 star for me.
