This was an enjoyable, thrilling read with some amazing world building, characters and spicy banter! You get a super intriguing and unique fantasy world with this series. Did you ever read about magic drawn form literal colors? No? Me neither. Such a special thing, love that! Besides the color magic, you meet magical creatures of all kind - from your well known and beloved fae to alves and phoenixes. And within this world we follow the human Emelin, who posses fae magic. Which causes her to get taken away by the Silent Death. A mute assassin that tales and stories are told about. The favored weapon of the queen in this world. Not only have those two some ambitious mission they want to fulfill. But they also provide us with a thrilling slow burn with some amazing banter and flirting. Don’t let anyone fool you, Creon being mute does not even remotely take away his ability to make you swoon and simp. It also created a special dynamic between these two, initially only able to communicate in writing, from his side. (My only criticism, in that regard, is is that those two learnt sign language a tad too fast in a beckons fluent way to be believable. Your telling me after a day they were able to hold full conversations without struggling once? An exciting fantasy romance and a promising start to a series, that I’m eager to continue! 4
I liked how the couple was capable of having a non-disfunctional relationship. Also I liked how there is a love story based on attraction, not based on mating bonds etc. Last of all I liked how the female character did not simply dismiss the brutality of her maybe boyfriend. She struggled through it, which made me connect with her even more. Yes there are some things that do not make sense e. G. Why they have to share the bed but will, I still enjoyed it a lot.
3.5⭐️ I really like the idea of wielding magic through colors and the mixing of those. Haven’t read anything like that before (at least as far as I can remember). I can’t put my finger on where exactly it was lacking for me. It was entertaining, with an interesting magic system but didn’t sweep me off my feet, which doesn’t mean I won’t read the next installment.
