pickThis book definitely has a well loved troupe, fake marriage. I felt sorry for Katherine and thought Richard was a total asswipe. But then that's what the author wanted the reader to think about the characters. Sound familiar? The plot was predictable; however, the character of Katherine saved the day. So wanted something good to happen for her and that is what kept me interested. 3.5 ⭐️ if the plot had been more polished this could have been a 4.

pickSet in a world where powerful mages protect a city from the wasteland around it, Sciona Freynan becomes the first female high mage. What should be a moment of triumph quickly turns to horror when she uncovers a devastating truth. Magic, faith, discrimination, science, belief, & truth collide in a story that asks how much someone will forgive being done to others if no harm comes to them & they benefit from it. Dark, violent & entertaining.
Wang is a self-published author who makes the leap to traditional publishing with this book. My biggest complaint about her self-published book that I read was a lack of editing. So far, this one is much better in terms of structure and narrative. Enjoying it so far.

This book took me by surprise. I absolutely loved Tyler and felt for him. It was obvious from early on that he was not where he was meant to be. Then he meets his soul mate and you know there will be consequences. Though I don't condone their actions, I still sympathize with the characters. I love when an author makes me feel so much. Great story.
