Well I started 2025 off with a bang. I got high hopes for the rest of the year.
When I first seen this book popping up on my socials I really didn't like the cover if I am to be honest. But then two of my favorite content creators reviewed this books and song its praise and I was sold lol Bri from 4 paws and a book and Steph from stephloves I am talking about you . When they both praise a book you listen and get to reading lol
Anyway the book itself was everything I hoped for and more. I couldn't get my hands on a physical copy so I bought it on kindle and the audio book on audible. Highly recommend the audio. I have since gotten a physical copy.
Those last 10 or so percent was a ride and then some. That ending damn. I can't wait for book 2, which comes out later this year to see what happens. The banter between Saeris and Kingfisher was top tier. Saeris is a strong female main character even in the face of possible death, she stood her ground. The reveal about the Quicksilver, I was like really that's too simple but then it wasn't. Kingfisher is everything you want it a book boyfriend, strong and silent, willing to sacrifice almost anything for the greater good, even himself. The magic system is unique. The twists and turns at the last 20 or so percent kept me reading and on the edge of my seat.
The book might be a Romantasy but it is the best of both worlds. Great world building and great romance with out sacrificing one for the other like some Romantasys do.
Please forgive my rambles I am still sick when writing this. I am still thinking about that last chapter. I so want to start the book all over again now that I have a physical copy. I even want to tab the book as well. I don't do either. So that tells you just how much I loved this book.
