THE HYPE IS REAL!
I always prefer to decide for myself if the new overhyped YA book is worth it... and I'm happy to say that this new Fantasy book totally was!
I loved the magic system, the world, the characters and cannot wait for the next book!
My only complain is with the romance. I hate romance. I hate how everyone needs to be paired up especially in YA and how cheesy it is. I kinda wish this series was adult instead but if you're looking for a book you'll fly through I totally recommend this one!
Will impatiently wait for book #2!

if this series was an adult series it would be out of this world!!
Can't wait to see your new video about this book soon!!!
That settles it! Emily agrees the hype is real on a YA Fantasy Novel. This means I must get it
your reviews are always nice and short, and most importantly very honest. found many books thanks to your reviews.
This is exactly how I thought of the bookThe romances were so insta love and not really character build
As long as the romance doesn’t take over the plot I’m good 👌
Really? I was hesitant to read this because I get disappointed so often with YA, but I trust you so I'll give it a try!
I'm finishing this book now and I totally agree re: the romance. It was the thing that held back the story for me, but I love the world and the magic system.
I had literally the exact same reaction. Take out the main characters love interest (like his character as a whole honestly) and the story would have been 5 stars for me.
Totally trust your opinion so I can’t wait to read this!
I wasn’t going to read this any time soon but well now I’m here thinking “Well, if Emily liked it...� 😆 I’m going to give another book you recommended a go first and then we’ll see.
Couldn't agree more. I just thought the romance was unnecessary and a bit weird.But other than that, I loved it.
I'm looking forward to this one!
Only got through this by skimming. The pacing issues and cliches made it almost impossible to enjoy.
This is still a must read for me! The whole synopsis is just amazing
I� thought I� was the only on. I� HATE ROMANCE. ESPECIALLY IN YA.
I'm so glad more people had issues with the romance plot. I was afraid I was the only one who wanted to put the book away because of that. And great review, Emily! :)
ooph, YA romances are not always good. How do you think this one faired out?
I thought the romance between 2 characters helped us see the internal struggle for at least one of the main characters. I don't want to give any spoilers, hope I'm not being too vague.
