MY REVIEW
The book gripped me from the very first scene of two friends trying to sneak out of the castle. Their banter and friendship dynamic was everything and then I finished that chapter and the last line of that chapter stuck with me......because It was ominous that something is going to happen soon.
I could not put the book down and kept reading. The plot and storyline was perfection and it is a real Enemies to Lovers where Isy (FMC) is sent to spy and gather secrets for her Kingdom behind the enemy lines. The Erik (MMC) was a powerful something can conjure amazing level of magic. Both characters go through some terrible situations and grow closer. But Isy kept spying only to find out later in the story that she was on the wrong side of the war.
There is also a tragic backstories for both Isy and Erik. Because of those tragedies it was easy to understand the motivations and the steps both were taking. The friends dynamic and the banter was also top notch. The romance between the main characters was swoon worthy. And those scenes where MMC teaches her to be a spy under pressure....lol...those scenes were hot as hell...you got to read this book. 😅 Eric devised a perfect way of doing two things at the same time.....teaching Isy and getting closer to her.
On the whole the book was amazing. It's a 5 star from me. I cannot wait to read the next book.
