"The fae are no joke, girl. Be wise. Be smart. Be cunning if you can..."
PRINCESS. MIDWIFE. WARRIOR
Her father made a binding agreement with the fae king to protect his kingdom. Now Crown Princess Saraya must pay the price: marry the crown fae prince, go into the monster's lair and give up her protection of the vulnerable women of her home, Quartz City. But fate would not have her sent into the fae kingdom, instead, forces far greater than she could have imagined plot the destruction of humanity. The Order of Temari, an ancient guild of warrior midwives, sworn to protect women in childbirth from the demons who would take their baby's magical abilities are all but dead. But with Saraya's coming of age, the Order has a chance at rebirth. Instead of going to sit the human caged, betrothed, in the fae kingdom, Saraya disguises herself as a fae warrior and sneaks away into the fae mountain academy, where fae males learn to become full blooded warriors.In order to save the human realm, Saraya must become the best warrior she can be.

*ARC provided by NetGalley* Holy, I‘m a bit blown away. I read most of this in one sitting because I simply couldn‘t put it down. Okay, so here are my thoughts. CHARACTERS I‘m absolutely in love with Saraya. She‘s a refreshingly active MC and her background as a midwife is really unique and interesting, I don’t think I‘ve ever seen anything similar and I was immediately hooked to see where this is going. I also really enjoyed the way she grew over the course of this book, especially in her beliefs of how to use her magic. I also liked her sister a lot and was wondering if we get to explore her storyline in the next book. Apparently, we do not, but she will get her own series later on, so that’s okay. As for Saraya‘s spectral guardian, she fell a little flat for me, but I believe this is because we don’t know a lot of her order yet in general. I hope we‘ll see more of them/their background in the other books. About the men - I struggled a lot to find out who the love interest is going to be, but in a good way! I don’t think it was obvious and I had a lot of fun guessing. I even suspected Skelton for a hot second, though I‘m hoping now that he‘ll get an mlm romance. PLOT Loved it. I was promised She‘s the Man meets ACOTAR and that’s exactly what I got. I also think the build-up to the final scene in the palace was really well done and I particularly enjoyed that I as a reader could pick up little crumbs over the course of the book hinting at the reveal. Having that „I knew something was off with XY“ moment was quite satisfying. WRITING Overall, I think the writing style is good. The pacing was a bit slow for the first third of the book, but after that it picked up and I flew through the story. What I didn’t like that much however was that a lot of the world-building felt like it was info-dumped on me. It could have been done a little more „show, don’t tell“. The world-building itself was really good though! Going into this knowing absolutely nothing, I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Rating it 4 Stars and will definitely pick up the sequels!
