I'm blown away by how much I enjoyed this book.
It had bits of nerve-wrecking reads that I wished I could jump in and just shake the characters.
But it was beautifully written with a good story line and interesting characters.



Bela, the main character, was raised in naivety.
Her parents believed by keeping secrets, they were protecting her.
But because of their lapse in judgment, she isn't prepared for the world she is thrust into.
One ruled by cruel and vindictive people.



This story is very vivid.
I could picture it just as I was watching a movie.
You are transported into the action, the characters emotions, and the world they live in.

It isn't a simple story line.
It is complex and full of mystery and turmoil.
You will be sucked in from the beginning.

We don't see much of the romance.
But you do see the beginnings of something unraveling.
It's a slow-burn reverse harem, so be prepared for that.



Another thing to prepare yourself for...
A cliffhanger.
This is a doozy of one and will have you shouting at the author wondering where the next book is.



Overall, a powerful fantasy read.
I am curious as to what will happen next.
