I liked this book. The writing was really good and it didn't take me very long to read it. I'd say fans of the Mortal Instruments and Magnus Chase will like this book as it kept reminding me of them.I liked the different characters that we are introduced to. The plot was good but towards the end it seemed a bit rushed. It seemed as though, the plot was getting simpler in order for the book to end. I enjoyed the book and would continue and read the next one in the series.
Spoilery
I really liked Raine at the start of the book but towards the middle and end I found myself disliking her more and more. She claimed to love Eirick or at least like him. She was in a relationship with him and then cheated on him with Torin. I didn't like the instalove between her and Torin. She didn't like him one minute and the next she loves him. I don't believe it was gradual. When Torin left,she didn't break up with Eirick because he comforted her. I found that to be very selfish.When she had Eirick,she wanted Torin and when he left,she wanted or needed Eirick. I feel as though she used Eirick a lot. She also led herself to believe that Eirick was into Cora. That might have been to ease her own guilt.
The ending was surprising and I believe it's a second chance for Raine. To start a relationship with Torin in the right way. For readers to see a proper relationship because I shipped them but didn't like that she cheated.
