Good for a younger audience
I wasn't too sure I wanted to read this duology since the Remnant Chronicles were so slow and irrelevant. This book is better, but the plotline is very similar to the previously triology. Will finish the duology but wouldn't recommend it top of my head to adults, perhaps teenagers.

An unexpected treasure
I struggled to get into it in the first few chapters, there were so many character names. But it quickly turned very fast paced & I ended up not being able to put it down. The ending was happy & left me wanting to read the second right away. the characters are loveable & I adore a smart FMC.

Not Totally Worth the Hype
Not the best book I've ever read but not the worst either. The writing itself was very good and I liked the universe the author set the book in. The Ballenger family was a fun concept and it reminded me a lot of the Shelbys from Peaky Blinders. I felt like the plot at its core was a very basic and minimal one, perhaps a little too simple, as the story and pacing dragged on a ton for the majority of the book. I almost considered DNFing the book a few times because I didn't feel all that invested in the story or the characters. Jase and Kazi themselves are pretty decent characters. I think they would've had a lot more potential if they were written for a NA audience instead of a YA one. I enjoyed their bickering but didn't feel like enough time had passed in the story for Jase to constantly confess his love. It felt a little cringe to me. Certain acts of betrayal were easily smoothed over and forgotten (especially at the end) that also felt annoying to me. Unsure if I'm invested enough in the story to read the sequel.

Could NOT put it down
I finished this in a day and a half. I loved the story, so much detail and world building. The touch of romance was the perfect amount, sweet but not smutty. The story flows so well it really was impossible to stop myself from reading. Short chapters, so it’s easy to just keep going. LOVE IT!!!

Almost amazing
I gave this book 4 stars because this could be just me but If a book gets boring in the middle then I stop reading, so it was a very long read for me… 3 months but overall this is honestly my favorite book and I’m on to the sequel. So just some advise if you are the same type of reader as me, I would just suggest your ready for a book that’ll be challenging to read, but it really has an amazing plot and the romance is great. I would suggest this book 100% just know what your getting into, definitely a commitment.

BUY IT
Are you a sucker for enemies to lovers? Do you enjoy a strong powerful woman taking charge? Are you a hopeless romantic like I am? Then this is the book for you, honey. I will admit that when I first read the first few pages of this book I was like "What is going on?" and "Can we please just meet the love interest already?" But that's just because I'm impatient and don't know how to wait. But I pushed through and kept on reading and let me just tell you... THIS BOOK had me blushing, screaming into my pillow, and having conversations with my wall at 3 AM talking about what was going on. This book had me smiling like an idiot and I wish I could just erase my mind and read it over again for the first time.
