ow, wow, WOW!!! What a book! I went into this knowing that it had an insane plot twist and even when I was looking for it on every single page I still did not see that one coming!!! This book is nothing but jaw dropping, goose pimpling, page turning fun! I loved every little thing about this book, the magic system, the history, the characters, the fated mates, the banter, the happy and the sad parts!!! Even the spice had meaning! The FMC is badass, and the MMC is everything I want in a fictional man he’s powerful, protective, patient and they honestly just fit so well together! This book and these characters are my new Roman Empire and I’m so so glad I’m late to the party so I don’t have to wait as long for the second book…I mean I need it now, but I’ll settle for reading this one all over again!! 😂😂

This was the first book I‘ve read in 2025 and I already know - this will be one of my favorites from this year. It was sooo good! It gripped me from beginning to end (what.an.ending.that.was!! 😱) and delivered with a very unique setting without being overwhelming. The plot was super interesting and always kept me wondering what would happen next. I‘m not going to dive deeper into the plot, because I would strongly advise going into this not knowing too much and just let the journey surprise you. When it comes the the MCs, I really liked them both. The FMC is smart and had some real bad@ss moments 💅🏻 The MMC Acker has a touch her and 💀attitude, is morally grey and has a fricking nose ring 🫠 And if that wasn’t enough, he falls first and is known for being ruthless af 🖤 I was talking to myself while reading the last two chapters 🫣 Like, WHAT.DO.YOU.MEAN??😭😭 Rachel Schneider is a mastermind of twists and revelations and I absolutely cannot wait for the next book.

Read the book for a book club reading. Loved it. Csnnot wait for book 2

La mia mascella è a terra: mi serviranno almeno 2-3 giorni lavorativi per elaborare questa storia. Il blurb non le rende assolutamente giustizia: questa storia è molto di più. Il libro è incredibilmente veloce, quindi potrebbe non essere adatto a tutti, soprattutto perché in alcuni momenti sembra anticiparti. Per me, però, è stato esattamente ciò di cui avevo bisogno al momento giusto, e mi ha regalato tutte quelle emozioni da cinque stelle. Sono ossessionato da tutti i personaggi e dalle loro dinamiche. Il mondo e la politica mi hanno affascinato, e ho adorato ogni dettaglio legato al sistema magico. È stato così avvincente che a volte dovevo letteralmente costringermi a mettere giù il libro, perché non riuscivo a smettere di leggere. Ho trascorso gran parte della lettura in uno stato di estasi, tra calci, urla e stupore! Colpi di scena a non finire, mai un momento di noia. Il modo in cui tutto si collega alla fine è semplicemente folle. E quel finale?? Il. Finale. Lo amerai o lo odierai, ma io l’ho divorato. L’autore è un vero genio. E il romanticismo? È tornato alla grande!

🌟 4.5 Stars This book was so good — the magic system, the bond, the pacing, all of it. I was fully hooked… until that ending. The last few chapters wrecked me, and that sneak peek? Unfair. I’m mad, but in the best way possible. Highly recommend — just be ready for the emotional whiplash.
