"(SPOILER ALERT) Literally couldn’t put it down. Went into the story completely blind and I was blown away. The plot twist of Maven betraying Mare and Cal and killing the king really shocked me. I will say that, although I didn’t expect his deceit, I did have a weird feeling about his and Mare’s relationship for most of the book. It didn’t feel natural to me. I was Team Cal all the way. Side Note: Mare has serious game. She had 3 men pining for her and no matter what she did, they all followed her like damn puppy dogs"

"The first half was pretty alright,kept me on my toes,but the second half was pretty boring…until the end.The ending was(predictable to me) but also very shocking and interesting. 🤨 Although Mare(the main character) wasn’t all that interesting to me,she wasn’t that bad. But the world building was unique and interesting,the family dynamics were relatable and the love interest was great 😊 "
