I really enjoyed the plot it was engaging, fast-paced, and kept me hooked throughout. I especially liked the FMC. She was strong, compelling, and easy to root for.

That said, the narration performance didn’t quite land for me. In particular, the MMC’s voice felt off and took me out of the story at times, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, a great story, but the narration didn’t fully do it justice.

Great first book!!!

Rushing to book 2! I love all the characters that are very well written. Both MMC and FMC are very likable and I care about what happens to them.(unlike in SJM series)

The only snag is I don’t understand why the male narrator doesn’t do Wilder’s lines throughout and not just his POV.

Having said that Molly Stark is excellent, better than the male narrator

What a feat, the story!!

First of all the narration itself wasn’t my favourite. It made Theia sound 16 not 24. The dialogue also didn’t help as they all sounded more like teen drama kids. The story was okay although there isn’t much plot it’s all character driven and about Theia becoming a warrior and training. It did feel too long. The romance was very very slow burn and again felt more YA.

It’s was okay. A bit too YA even though it’s not meant to be

It’s a mix of blood and ash, serpent and nightwings fourth wing. Very slow burn!

I found this very enjoyable and I'm intrigued to see where the author takes us. My main gripe is the narrator for Wilder, he sounds a lot older than the narrator for Althea and so in my head it didn't always work but I'm sure I can get pissed this.

Solid start
