WOULD IT BE SO BAD, TO BE DEVOURED?
Fi has carved out a career as a cross-dimensional smuggler by sticking to simple rules: keep your routes secret, always draw your energy sword first, and - at all costs - avoid the daeyari, the carnivorous immortals who have ruled for millennia.
When she's hired to smuggle a bomb into the capital, instinct tells her the risk isn't worth the pay, but the entreaty of a long-lost friend guilts her into accepting. Until the heist goes terribly wrong, and Fi is thrown at the feet of the daeyari lord, Antal, as payment.
Antal is a hunter - cold and cunning and furious at Fi for her part in the attack on his city. Her saving grace is a common enemy: he'll spare her if she helps him uncover who masterminded the scheme. To save her life, her family, and the village she calls home, Fi must join Antal on a new hunt with far higher stakes than she's ever faced before, bartering with neighbouring immortals who might offer an alliance - or tear their throats out in the snow.
She's always known the dangers of her trade - and of the power she's wielded since childhood, allowing her to see the secret doors between realities, to walk the Void itself. But nothing could have prepared her for meeting Antal. For the deal she's been forced to make, and what that deal might ignite. A revolution. And a temptation - for how sweet the monster's fangs might feel.
From the author of instant Sunday Times bestseller The Phoenix Keeper comes a dazzling new fantasy universe unmissable for fans of the world-building scale of Sarah J. Maas and the world-shifting stakes of Rebecca Yarros.

This book was on my radar because of the Phoenix Keeper - a book by the author is really loved. And while knowing this was a very different book, the premise sounded super promising.
The first 10% of the book made my head spin with awe and possibilities. The worldbuilding is swift, solid, and opens up a vast plane of dimensions, portals, monsters, and a sci-fi vibe that I really loved. In the middle of it: Fi - smuggler, badass, bi FMC and all around great main character. When she wants to pull off a heist, but instead gets drawn into world-shattering revolutionary actions, I was all in. Sadly, I did not stay in. While being aware that this is monster romance, I found the middle of the book way too focused on the monster romance (mostly physical) - and paired with weird pacing, I fell out of the story and didn't find my way back in. I'm a bit sad about this, as the writing style is unique and the world is mind-blowingly great. 3,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @orbitbooks_us for the eARC! #Voidwalker #Netgalley #Bookstagram
