Reminiscent of Hunger Games. 

“They chose me. Or in other words, they chose me to die”

📚 love triangle
📚 fantasy
📚 romance
📚 slow burn
📚 dual POV

|Thoughts|
Interesting magic system and twist on the whole ‘chosen one’ with all the powers. 

“Perhaps she will not need powers, to be Powerfull”

That was one of the longest slow burns I’ve read in some time. And although the love triangle adds another layer to the story, I could have done without it. 

“I‘ll save your again and again, aimlessly hoping you will allow  me to stay in it”

Did like the dynamic and banter between Paeyton & Kai. And their scenes together were my fav in the book. 

“He doesn’t even know who I truly am. What I truly am. And if he did, he would kill me”

Liked the characterisation of Kai and how he battles with his duty as the future Enforcer. 

“Destruction is my duty and the king has made me numb to killing…Even monsters can have morals”

The ending has left me with just as many questions as answers…

“Stay.”
