We have our strong main character Katyani who was raised as an orphan to the royal family. She is fiercely independent and has very strong and skillful fighting skills. The only thing is, that she is magically bonded to the queen to serve and protect.
There were numerous attacks on the royal family so the princes were sent to a gurukul where they would receive formal training. So Katyani was sent with them to receive that same training.
From there, everything is super-fast paced, and the story is always involving from there.
I really loved this, and I wish I could get more of this. Since this was super-fast paced, there was so much that wasn’t fleshed out. This book deserved to be a duology or trilogy.
I really love the mythical creatures in this book. But it was super touch and go that it left me wanting to know more about them and how they came to be in this world and why they are considered evil.
The magic system wasn’t really explained. Such as spiritual magic and just magic in general. Who can wield it? How does one person get this magic? How did Katyani get it and used it?
The romance in this book was amazing but also left me wanting more at the same time. I felt the chemistry in it but at the same time it felt like an afterthought. More of a sub plot even though it was extremely highlighted throughout the book.
There are scenes in the book that made sense to the storyline, but it was quick and over with before you know it. Made me think, wow, that was fast. There was so much being crammed into one book that a lot came and went concerning the plot.
Like I said, this book deserved to be longer. I loved everything about it, but it was rushed, and you couldn’t enjoy it as much. I would still recommend it to readers though because it is well worth picking up.
