I really enjoyed this tale! Magic, demons, political, a love story (or 2), gods, curses! This definitely has it all.

Vanja quickly became one of my new favorite main characters. From page 1 she gets herself into a seemingly impossible situation. She present as initially morally gray but there is full character development. The side characters definitely make the book. Things are never truly as they seem!

I really like the authors writing. For the most part, the plot moved at a hood a pace, and I really like “4th wall” break every once in while where the reader was addressed as a way to give further insight into backstory and the main characters’ thoughts. I feel like it lulled in the second quarter of the book because it just felt like too much was going on? Or maybe things just felt a little too bleak for the main character so early on? Once I got to the second half of the book though, it was unputdownable! 

The sequel is DEFINITELY on my tbr!
