"This book had me SHRIEKING!!!! It had everything I adore in a Young Adult Fantasy novel!! High stakes, compelling world building, complex characters! Isla was such an easy protagonist to root for. I felt for her throughout. I was giddy when she started to fall in love. I was scared when she was risking her life. I cried when she cried. Also, can we talk about the TROPES???? It had all my favorites!! Enemies to lovers, love triangle (but in a heart wrenching way, not in a cheesy Twilight/Hunger Games kind of way), girl who doesn’t believe in love (but of course finds it), and so many more. Now for the SPOILER ALERT: I really didn’t know who to root for: Oro or Grim? It was like my heart just couldn’t decide, just like Isla. Every time I preferred one, I felt like I was betraying the other. But in other news, this book gave me ONE HELL OF A PLOT TWIST! I had a sinking feeling toward the beginning that Celeste would betray Isla (I was praying I was wrong) but the fact that she was actually AURORA?? And that GRIM AND POPPY AND TERRA betrayed her too??? I was absolutely floored. Both my girl Isla and I cannot trust anyone but my main man Oro. (Though I still have a place in my broken heart for Grim, just like Isla) I literally cannot wait to see what happens in the next book (and what is in that damn vault)!!! God, I hate cliffhangers!!! 10/10 read though! I really don’t understand why so many have been hating on it. Sure, sometimes the writing came off juvenile but I was entertained and it offered an amazing escape from real life, and isn’t that why we read in the first place? People need to chill"

"Reminds me of a supernatural flare on the hunger games!"

"Loved this and will be continuing on with the series!"

"My new favorite book it is so good the entire way through. Hunger games but a more fantasy vibe"

"I must have been in a slump the first time I tried to get into it, because I struggled a bit. It reminded me of Hunger Games and has supernatural elements like ACOTAR. It’s got high stakes and a love triangle with a twist you wouldn’t imagine - and oh, how that became my favorite part! 😆 Just the twist in general was goood and unexpected. I figured it was the other way around. It definitely kept me guessing. "

"OMG THE ENDING!!!! IDK HOW PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS BOOK IT WAS SOOOO GOOD"

"Ok but all I can say is WOW The plot twists, the mysteries, the SUSPENSE. This book captured me, body and soul, like a way I haven’t felt since fourth wing. Honestly I did not see the end coming and both men ?? Omg. I cannot wait for the next one "

"The fate of her people is on her shoulders, but who can she trust? She is one of six rulers fighting to save their realm, but her secret could be her destruction. #curses "

"THE PLOT TWIST AND THE ENDING ?!?!? It was really slow at first, it was kinda hard to get into. The power system was a bit confusing. I thought of giving this book 3 star until I got to the last hundred pages. "

"I’m so disappointed I didn’t like this book as much as I thought I would…. Some parts were good!! It got me HOOKED. However, most of the book was just emotional monologues and Isla being naive, so….yeah. I was just annoyed with the mc the entire time. I feel like if Cleo was the mc, I would have liked the book more…because Cleo seems really head-strong and strategic. She doesn’t wait for people around her to start killing her. Instead, she develop her own plan and work her butt off. I also didn’t really like the romance-subplot. A lot of it was really forced…and I was mad because I really really wanted the mc to make some progress or kick some butts. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Grim and Isla either. Everything felt like lust. As for Oro and Isla, their friendship would’ve been great. The author revealing that Oro loves Isla didn’t really make sense lol. I wish she wrote them to become best friends."
