Wow this one is hard to review. I liked it because it was light and I breezed through it. But the more I think the more I dislike it and wanted to change my rating....

I also assume the library bought this one cos someone has watched booktok, and every booktok book I try is a fail.

The main character is just so dang stupid. Like HELLO, you are obvi one of THEM! Omg, the whole oh she was sick and her eyes changed color...ok so why is she the only person in the world?

I hope people does not tote this as a romantasy. The main character has a bestie, and they have done the deed before, and does it like once. He is a side character of no importance. Because she meets a prince, who is dark and brooding, and lacks personality.

Nothing happens between them except for brooding looks and at the end I am supposed to believe they have feelings for each other?

Oh I changed my mind and rated it a 2 instead. I just do not like the main character at all. I also read that she gets even more stupid so no thank you

All her life, healer Diem Bellator has yearned to escape her tiny village in Emarion, a realm ruled over by cruel demigods known as the Descended. Although her parents have always tried to shield her from their brutality, Diem's world changes forever when her mother goes missing, leading her to uncover a dangerous secret that links her family to the dreaded Descended in ways she never imagined.

The journey to unravel the web of mysteries Diem's mother left behind is long and treacherous, and it soon leads her into the dark domain of those who rule her world: the Descended's royal palace itself.

With the dying king's handsome, enigmatic heir watching her every move, and a ruthless rebel alliance urging her to join the looming civil war, Diem must reevaluate everything she thought she knew to save her loved ones - and finally discover the truth about her world.
