Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

If I am to survive Valkyrie training, I must earn my wings. If I am to survive Kain, I must make a choice that could burn our world to ash.I’m broken. My fae magic doesn’t work and nobody knows I exist.My sister, on the other hand, is bound for glory. She has been selected to train to be a Valkyrie at the mythical Featherblade Hall. I am destined to die alone, in my tower.Only, when the Valkyrie come to collect my sister, they take me instead.I’m not the only one who thinks they’ve made a terrible mistake. Every other fae here is waiting for me to die.Except one.Kain, the disgraced fire-fae combat trainer. The gods took his wings away, he can’t leave Featherblade, and he makes no secret of his blazing desire for revenge.And somehow, he knows I’m the only one who can help him. He doesn’t know my secret, thank the fates, but his burning gaze never leaves me.I know I should avoid him. I can’t think straight when he’s near me, and he’s as lethal as Featherblade is.But, the only thing harder than earning my wings and becoming a Valkyrie?Conquering my searing obsession with the unhinged fire-fae, before it gets everyone killed.Fae Vikings meet romantasy in this enemies to lovers series in an academy/war college setting. If you love villain gets the girl stories and obsessive burn-the-world-down-for-her MMCs then this is for you. The spice is deliciously slow-burn and builds with each book.

    ***rant***

    My main problem with this book is that the summary didn’t match the contents at all. The mmc is barely a part of the book until the last few chapters and when he was he wasn’t encouraging like I thought he would be based on the summary he was actually kind of a dick. I think the summary would’ve been better described as a grumpy/sunshine kind of trope and even that would be pushing it because honestly not a lot happens in this book. The idea really intrigued me but I feel like the first book was a bunch of filler and nothing is actually gonna start happening until at least the second or third book. I would’ve loved at least a hint of improvement in our fmc but it really felt like she ended the book the same as she started. Idk if I’ll continue the series tbh
