I can’t even count how many times I have read this book. It is the perfect amount of romance and has such a great story! Highly recommend.

I read the entire series and it was okay. Once you get through the first book it gets a lot better and the story really catches your attention but in all honesty I wish this was a bit more mature... yes, I know it's young adult but it's so cliche! I can't speak for everyone, but I am tired of the whole 16 coming of age story. There are so many out there and this book just seemed like the author wanted it to be more mature but yet the characters were so young. The storyline just seemed more mature. I just wished that the characters where a little older that way you could've written the way you obviously wanted to. It was a little annoying jumping back and forth from what a young teenager would do to what a more experienced person would do. I get the point of trying to show the main character as a person who is mature for her age but really....it doesn't. You have to read the story to know what I'm talking about. This book really had SO much potential. I still think it's a great book to read. But like I said, I just wished you stuck to one idea. Either had it 16 coming of age completely or the more mature version. It felt like there was something missing. I think this book is great for teens that are between 14-16. I hope you get the book and enjoy it. Despite my critique, I do like the book. I thought the story was great and I loved the characters. I just wish it was more thought out and executed better. Especially the age-storyline gap that didn't really mix. You don't really expect a 16 year old to go to war and be a ruler or act the way she does(even if she was mature for her age). I think if you made her like 17 turning 18 and the characters between 17-20 it would flow soo much better. That way you could be a little bit more mature. I could definitely tell you had fun writing the more mature parts and it was clear that it was difficult to stick to the whole 16 coming of age.

It was alright. The book was little cliche and the lead was super indecisive but hey if the author wants to make her like that then it’s her choice. Some topics were a little confusing but I have to say I loved the magic element. I loved the source and understanding behind the magic which is a lot different than them just suddenly getting it. It’s always the gods isn’t it?!

Good but not great. At first I thought it was ok... gets better towards the end... Ends somewhat abruptly though. I just hope the other books are better. I grew attached to the characters and u were able to understand their pains. Love story wasn’t incredible...but idk. I look forward to reading the next books.

I love this book so much! I can hardly put it down! I saw the cover and Target and that was enough to draw me in! I finally found it at a library and I'm so incredibly thankful!! Thank you so much Miss Sebastian for writing this! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

good book. would be better if she was gay js

Pretty good overall. Really liked the world building along with characters but the ending was a bit patchy. Felt like some parts were waaay, waay too far drawn out and then at the ending it just...finishes and goes to the epilogue. Weird.

Whether or not you are a fan of fiction books, this book is so well written, thrilling, exhilarating, and fast-paced that it is impossible not to like. I would recommend this book to all readers. It is just that good.

Beautifully written. This is assuringly fictional, yet it feels so real. Theodosia goes though it all, so it seems okay that she may make a few wrong decisions, but her final decision broke my heart. I’d recommend this to 13+ readers who love action, a touch of romance, and a character who needs to discover how real the person she’s pretending to be is.
