Two people who share the need to break the rules and constrictions of their world. Two people who are starving for change and a new life. But the delivery of this story was lacking. If you have a book with a story line that is based on characters depth and emotion, then I feel like they should have some depth and raw feeling to their characters. Or at least more personality and character growth through the book. I found the only growth was a bit choppy and forced. The only word that comes to mind to describe the book for me it, stale. The premise of this book is brilliant, and a story that desperately needs to be told. I hope maybe this is the reason I was so incredibly disappointed in the pithy dialog and drab scenes. I felt like the blurb and beginning promised a story of true and serious trial and tribulation, but the story that's told is just so forced and fake you can't connect like you should.

WOW, in this SOC meets Witchlands start of an epic new series you cannot go wrong in picking this book up this September. I really appreciated being thWOW, in this SOC meets Witchlands start of an epic new series you cannot go wrong in picking this book up this September. I really appreciated being thrown straight into the fantasy world of Choal and the Islands of the Clays that make up the kingdom. We start by following the first duo of our team Knox and Anwei and in doing so, learning more about the world of the Devoted and the "Dirt Witches" and the complicated history between the two magical enhanced beings of this world. We slowly get introduced to the rest of our team, but with all the twist and turns never really know who we can trust other than our dynamic duo. This book has so much going on in it, from amazing plot twists, throughout the book, to stunning world-building and characters that you will love.
Tropes Included: Heist, Bound-Together, Forbidden romance, Mistaken Identity, Revenge Story.
