Not a huge fantasy reader, and all the world building and info dumping are scaring me a little. I hate juggling multiple books, but I might need a buffer book just to survive this one. Wish me luck!

I didn’t enjoy this book, but it’s still a 5 star read for me because it made me feel and think about things I never had before. It was heartbreaking, disturbing, and hard to read at times.
The story shows how deep a mother’s love can go, and how that love can turn into denial when the truth is too painful to face. It’s not an easy book, but it’s powerful, emotional, and the kind of story that stays with you long after the last page.

The first chapter absolutely left my jaw on the floor. Shocking, gripping, and the kind of opening that makes you think you’re in for a 5 star read. Unfortunately, the rest of the book never quite reached that same level. The premise was interesting, but the story started to feel a little unnatural, and the romance didn’t fully work for me. Instead of feeling emotional or convincing, the relationship felt forced at times, which made it hard to connect. Overall, it was an okay read with a strong start, but the execution didn’t live up to its potential.
