It was an amazing ride. Ryiah and her twin Alex decided to join the Academy to learn how to become a mage. There are three options of magic that you can master: Alchemy, Restoration, or the popular one, Combat. Of course, our heroine pick up Combat for her choice.
It was never been too easy for Ryiah. What I love about her is that she just a normal, lowborn girl who had struggling to claim her place at the Academy. She never give up even when everyone seems doubt to her abilities.
"You should never trust a wolf in sheep'ʹs clothing,"ʺ Darren said faintly. His eyes burned, scalding my flesh as if he had torched me with flame. "ʺBecause the only thing the wolf will ever want to do is break you."
I always waiting for the scene Ryiah and Darren together, even if it's just to bickering each other. Their love is not an insta love. Let alone love. I even doubt both of them realize they had strong feeling toward each other until the end. That's my question now: did they have realize it?
I get love and hate with Darren. One minute I want to hug him, another time I want to splash water on his face.
I also love her friend, Ella. She always be there for Ryiah, cheer her up and never judge her. I enjoyed her jokes with Alex. I was there when she felt 'insecure' toward Alex's fans yet she still can't be honest with herself. Ella is a true lovely friend. I wish she will have a courage to face that jerk crown prince in the future. You are a Combat Apprentice now! Go Ella, Go!!
What could've been better: the world building. I still haven't catch what is happening in the outside of the Academy. Why all of them so eager to learn about defending them self. Is their country in danger? And so on.
I enjoy this book and can't wait to see what happen in the next book.
The people that tell you what you want to hear are the most dangerous enemies you'ʹll ever meet.
Disclosure: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal Group on Goodreads).
