I’m loving every single word. What a book! I can’t wait to see where it goes.

I can’t put this thing down. Best fantasy read since the first Game of Thrones. Wow.

Enrapturing storytelling. How does John Gwynne does it? Masterful. Can’t wait to see how it ends.

I really dig it so far. I’m not a huge fan of love triangles overall, but I think this one is very well-done and slower in development, which I genuinely like. The story was sold to me as Hunger Games vibes meets a lot of Magic Tournament vibes with huge stakes, but it’s a bit darker than that may suggest. Isla, Celeste, Grim and Oro.. I love them.

I’m enjoying it very much. Although, some people need to understand this is not a fantasy book. This is dark academia, with a teeny bit of romance? Gotta keep reading.

Very, very good so far. The way John Gwyne masterfully builds this world is nothing short of magical. The different POVs are hitting hard.

10 chapters in, sorry to say, I’m hooked. The way Frieda conjures up dialogue and develops characters is so effective. This is truly, so far, a fantastic thriller.
