Ever had the feeling of numbness, the feeling of having your heart break and then remade, and the feeling of intensity flooding your body cells? Yeah, that was me, during and after reading this book. There is action and violence, passion and romance, friendship and betrayal. It is the tale about a world where anguish leaves no room for light, where the Ascended wield their power like a poison-tipped sword and a kingdom that is forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals. 

Penallaphe is never to be touched. She is forbidden to socialize, to celebrate her birthdays, go to picnics, to defend herself because she's the Maiden. She cannot live or experience anything she wants for herself without being reminded about her duty to the Gods. She doesn't have the privileges everyone around her has. But she does exactly the opposite of what she's expected to do and that makes her sassier than any female protagonist I've read about. She does what she deems fit, consequences be damned. And things escalate when she meets the very attractive Royal Guard, Hawke Flynn. She's strong, she's fierce, but that's not all. Poppy, despite enduring losses of people she loved dearly, walks with an air of confidence that makes you respect her amongst many other things. I loved the fact that she doesn't whine about her survivors' guilt and chooses to be better equipped and trained rather than be a liability in times of duress. Her emotional tolerance and her ability to take her shortcomings positively makes me want to hug her.

 Hawke Flynn (view spoiler) Of course I'm going to start with him. He is the character you will immediately love and adore. He's fast, observant, protective, and if I have to steal his word- intriguing. He is considerate and then demanding. Teasing and then cold as looming death. Violent beyond imagination but extremely tender and benign. He is the kind of boyfriend everybody hopes and deserves to have. He can ignore discussions about the safety of his kingdom and other political issues just to make sure whether or not you've touched your breakfast. He will kill anyone who says something even remotely bad about you. He has infinite bae traits and he is made up of so many layers in terms of his character complex that you'd want to unearth him and explore him deftly. Oh, and did I mention he has dimples? 

Romance : Electric and tantalizing, it is perfect for the fans of ACOTAR- a combination of sweet and steamy moments as Poppy embraces her sexuality. Hawke doesn't try to hide the fact that he's drawn to Poppy and flirts openly and they share an appealing banter. 

Twists: There are quite a few plot twists although the final twist is predictable. Trust me, it doesn't ruin the reading experience in any way.]]> 2022-09-27 12:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kdmykhailenkofpo22/h38e48aygopo3hhq/wish/2315482229
