I've had a hard time getting through this. Twice I laid it down at about 25% in, because to me it got boring after a strong beginning. A lot of people told me that it picks up again, so I pushed through. The premise is great: (dark) academia, a magic system including painting, the concept of Empyreals who on the one hand are protectors, but on the other hand seem to treat their own badly. And a FMC trying to avoid her fate, but drawn into this nonetheless out of care for her family.
It did pick up again in the last quarter, but sadly it was too late for me to truly get into the story again and root for the characters. I think with a different pacing this could be a really cool story, but as it is, it's not for me. 3/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @harpervoyager_uk for the eARC! #TemptationOfMagic #Netgalley #Bookstagram
I have absolutely loved this! I got this book in my Fairyloot YA box and wasn’t sure what to expect, because sometimes the books are amazing and sometimes they are not for me, but this was my favorite out of all of them so far. The world building is amazing and I think the mythical creatures are thought out thoroughly. I have never read a book with a creature like the Empyreal before and thought the concept was fascinating. The book gripped me from the start, it had just the right amount of romance and I really really loved that the main characters had good, loyal friendships and actually communicated with each other. 5 star read, I would definitely recommend this and can’t wait for the second book!
