thank you to Colored Pages Book Tour and Fierce Reads for the arc!!

this book shocked me speechless wow. it was so interesting and i sped through this book so fast. the writing is exceptional, and the descriptions were beautiful but not over the top, which often distracts me. the plot was paced out perfectly, i'm someone who often struggles with the first 25% of a book so this was super engaging and i didn't even put the book down until i was around 60% in???

nhika was such a great main character to follow, she has depth and i can understand her line of thinking and decisions most times. the side characters are also very interesting to read about and i kept finding myself wanting more of nhika's interactions with them! the worldbuilding of this book was done very well, i could picture the setting of everything happening. also, the bloodcarving/heartsoothing system was super intriguing to read about!

the ending of this book was SHOCKING. i was wondering how the book was going to end when i reached around the 85% mark and i was very very surprised by the direction it took. the mystery aspect of this book was captivating and i liked that it wasn't so complex because i was able to guess a bit of it (which i'm very proud of). although the ending is kinda cliffhangery, i like that i don't want to completely sob until the next book releases for answers but instead, i will be counting down the days.

overall, i highly recommend this book if anyone is looking for a fun fantasy read!!
