Explosive and enthralling romantasy debut from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Howzell Hall...
Thrown into a desolate land of sickness and unnatural beasts, Kai wakes in the woods with no idea who she is or how she got there. All she knows is that if she cannot reach the Sea of Devour, even this hellscape will get worse. But when she sees the village blacksmith fight invaders with unspeakable skill, she decides to accept his offer of help.
Too bad he’s as skilled at annoying her as he is at fighting.
As she searches for answers, Kai only finds more questions, especially regarding the blacksmith who can ignite her body like a flame, then douse it with ice in the next breath.
And no one is what—or who—they appear to be in the kingdom of Vinevridth, including the man whose secrets might be as deadly as the land itself.
RAITING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
REVIEW: When I started this one I thought it was going to be another DNF for me. But luckily I stuck with it and it ended up being really good. I will say that if you pick this one up. Give it a few chapters for you to really get the feel of the writing because I thought it was kind of on the choppy side to start with. But once I got the hand of it it was great!!
So this one has romance elements but they are not really at the forefront of the story. This one is all fantasy. I loved the memory loss troupe it was something fresh. The world building is about the same as most fantasy books but that wasn't a bad thing. This book was overrun with morally grey characters that I was all here for. I would have liked a little more character development but I think this one is going to be a series with that ending so there is still time for that.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one and hope to see what else this author can do.
