What stood out most for me was the intensity of the emotions—there were moments where I honestly had to pause because the weight of what the characters were feeling hit so hard. Caly’s struggle between loyalty and desire felt real and heartbreaking, and Mendax and Aurelius both brought so much tension and passion to the story. And that ending… it left me reeling and immediately wishing I had the next book in my hands.
The middle dragged a little bit for me, but overall the atmosphere, the emotional stakes, and the way the story tied magic into the bonds between characters kept me hooked. For me, this was a solid 4-star read—dark, addictive, and full of those moments that stay with you long after you finish.

Quotes
I know you're anxious for me to teabag your head, but calm down,
That's the hardest part of people dying…letting go of someone who you only want to hold tighter because they are gone, but it's also what stops us from grieving and learning to live without them.
The world didn't stop for heartbreak or devastation.
What if your anger is just sadness that had nowhere to go?
