The only female magician in an all male magical kingdom Eryn tries to keep her magic a secret like her father tells her too but through some unlucky happenings she winds up under the Kings and Magical Order with each their own ideas of what to do with her. This book keeps you on your toes wondering what will be next, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
General Comments
This book was great I love longer books because that gives me more time to enjoy them since I read pretty fast. I liked our main characters boldness, she stood up for herself even to her superiors which sometimes wasn't the smartest thing to do, but she did it regardless. At times I got annoyed with how they treated her by lying and manipulating situations but it wasn't enough to put me off from the story. I would recommend this book when I put it down I was looking forward to picking it up to read more. The ending wasn't the greatest but at the same time the way it ended and how long the story is to me, makes it seem like they're will be more books and it's a continuous story, it sort of has the feel of Diane Gabaldon's books of how they end and can get picked back up again into the same story but newer settings. I think I'm just more annoyed I can't instantly pick up the next book and continue since this one is new to come out and I am just impatient. Some things I wished were addressed but never were like Eryn speaking about her father with Enric I thought that would be a nice bonding experience that didn't happen but maybe it will in the next book.
Characters
I think they characters developed very nicely with the length of the story, the friendships happened very naturally as well as the romance it wasn't rushed into an insta love connection which is refreshing now a days when we find characters falling in love after just meeting. I liked the main character Eryn she stood for what she believed in but was willing to bend to learn other things. I think the way the other characters in the book treat her at times is appalling but it goes with the story and who those characters are and how they behave, but it went with the story so it worked.
World building
I think the world building was interesting it evolved at a slower pace with the story. At one point we see that mostly everyone in the kingdom is fair and blonde or of light hair colour and is later explained why, and I had been wondering about it so I was glad it was explained.
Overall I would say read this book, I want more and will definitely have the next one on my to read list!
I received this book as an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
