Description
Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for one another.

This book was one of the hardest to get through. It was extremely slow and predictable from page one on. Furthermore, it was basically a retelling of The Witcher. The descriptions were unnecessarily long to the point where I felt as if the narrator thought I was dumb. The author probably intended this novel to be a poetic masterpiece of literature. However, the language used felt forced and unnatural - a poor attempt at mimicking the masters of Fantasy. What's more, is that the book features racist topics. (please consider reading/listening to what a person of colour has to say about that.) Lastly, the authors' response to negative reviews/criticism has been and still is. Just because the TikTok videos in question have been removed, does not mean that what has been said, is unsaid. Now, the author published this book earlier this year, but due to criticism, republishes it in September. And even though I haven't read the book as it was published back then, I can confidently say that the criticism that had been received, was not used to adapt the book. Thus, a lot of potential has gone to waste. Seeing this is sad because I had genuinely thought the author would use this second chance.
