This was a quick and fun read, it got its hooks into me right away and had intrigue in a bucket fulls. The world building isnโt detailed, but itโs good. Itโs a simple read and easy to follow but the writing style shows that itโs a first novel. This series offers real potential as the author clearly knows how to grab your attention and keep it.
One of my favourite parts about the book is that the author gave us multiple POV, seeing through different eyes gave me all the feels and brought those strong emotions straight to the forefront. Mishon also knows how to write a reverse harem full of yearning and angst potential. I imagine the spice will increase with each book and I cannot wait to learn more about those piercings.
This was a very fast paced read which kept me on my toes the whole way through- I genuinely didnโt want to put this down. The academy setting, the magic system, and the world itself is really easy to follow along with and lose yourself too. There were some predictable elements with satisfying conclusions and there was so many mysteries and questions arising as you continued to read that only book 2 can answer.
Some elements felt a little rushed and not fleshed out- particularly the reverse Haram and how quickly the mates were introduced, as it felt like they were crammed in all at once under a time restraint. Having so many important characters revealed in such a quick succession didnโt give us time to create those emotional bonds meaning the romance side felt a little shallow and surface level in parts..
Iโm happy we get so many mates to enjoy, and one of my favourite troops is reverse Haram, especially when -like in this book- all of the mates had completely different personalities, strengths, and weaknesses, and were all separate supernatural beings. I think because they were all so different I wanted more time to breathe and learn about each one. It wouldโve been great to develop a stronger connection to their weaknesses when it comes to her, plus their individual circumstances and their own history, along with their strengths and true feelings.
it wouldโve been great to get some more law around the different species too.
Now the groundwork has been laid Iโm hoping book 2 will give me all these things I so desperately want, I do like being left with questions but not at the cost of character development and understanding. Basically the bones are there, The ideas are incredible, and the flesh has started to form, but then it feels like the author was given a one week deadline to complete the book and so she was forced to rush through it giving us just enough information to make it a good story when it deserved more time to become a great story.
All in all There was the main plot, there was the relationship drama, there was sub plots, and there was the School. These were the bones of a truly brilliant five star read, although I thoroughly enjoyed it and have now read it twice itโs a little heartbreaking that it didnโt get the depth, character development and detail that it needed. If youโre into low fantasy or after an easy to read laid-back supernatural School than this is absolutely for you but if you want complex characters, epic world building and unpredictable twists you may possibly be underwhelmed.
๐งโโ๏ธ โ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ค:
I love how we have a strong cast of side characters and Iโm a sucker for a great best friend. I really appreciate that the best friend has her own personality strengths and weaknesses and I canโt wait to learn more about her too.. speaking of best friends the Familia -Kenji, brings sarcasm and banter in bucketfuls. Iโm not sure yet if itโs funny or belittling as he seems to straddle that line, Iโm hoping for funny because a Familia should be a best friend, a confidant, and youโre number one fan, but I suppose itโs another thing weโll find out as the series continues.
I love how the main FMC is a mystery even to herself she sheltered and naive but so kind and a genuine ray of sunshine but has no clue about her past or her magic. And I love how innocent she is which lends itself to a genuinely good read when it comes to her mates and how theyโre all so much more experiencedโฆ well, once they realise they are all her mates and will have to share that is! A gorgeous, grumpy, overprotective bear shifter who does NOT want to share, a lust fuelled incubus who only wants to share, and then thereโs the rejection of a third mate and the mystery surrounding the 4thโฆ all great characters so far and I love how they act together and clash when it comes to her!
๐ฅ ๐๐๐ช ๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ค?
Because I enjoyed it so much I just wish there was more more background more history more law more relationship detail more character development just more an extra hundred pages wouldโve been perfect for me but this is just a personal reason. There is nothing actually wrong with the story.
โณ ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐-๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฃ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐?
Iโve already reread it so yes, and I will absolutely recommend it over and over again. Itโs one of my favourite books.

This is a highly entertaining light fantasy romance with simple world building fun, magical intrigue and plenty of mystery. Itโs packed full of your favourite tropes and looks like itโs going to get spicier with each book. You absolutely need to stick this on your TBR if you want a simple easy to follow spicy magic Academy.

I managed to finish it but it was rubbish. I won't keep a physical copy and won't recommend it, but it's a shame as the plot could have made a good book in another author's hands
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
It was OK. I wish I didn't start this one as it didn't do it for me as I struggled to read it. It had an interesting premise that fell flat but I had to see what happened in the end.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
I don't regret reading it, and I will read the next one, but this one did have a few flaws. [These could be repetitive writing, gaps or plot holes, better character growth or world building, areas needing more detail]
Generally, the book lacked depth and became confusing. The plot resonated with me even though it annoyed me on the whole.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
I'm glad I read it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to the right people, but I wanted more! Sadly, it's easily forgettable with a few issues I just couldn't overlook/get past.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
Good book! I loved it, but... I needed more! I really did enjoy it, but it had a few parts that needed more detail or added history/background or lore. But that's because the story or characters were memorable, and the plot was strong with brilliant twists. I would re-read if I needed to catch up for the next book and would recommend.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
Great book! I truly wish the story had been thought about more, or the author had been given more time as this book is so close to brilliance! I will likely read again and will definitely be recommending it to all!
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
WOW! Absolutely amazing book! Well written with great characters and a plot so memorable that it will stay with me. I will definitely read this again, I will be recommending it and sharing it with the whole world! Also- I NEED A PHYSICAL COPY!
๐ฅโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ๐ฅ
This is my God level tier. The book must be perfectly memorable. Even after reading 50+ more books, I will remember character names and emotions along with the plot. If there is a special edition, then I need to own it! If there is a conversation on books- I'm talking about this!
SPICE SCALE:
๐ถ๏ธโ segsual language and a little on-page action
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธโ a lot of segsual language and some on-page open door action, may be occurring a couple of times
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธโ a lot of explicit action and dirty talk, occurring frequently with 2/3 lurvers
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ โ super graphic and explicit, occurring 4 or more times, can be more grey and taboo themed.
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ โ Kinks and Fet!shism, explicit and super graphic. It is likely to be tushy play, toys, playrooms, and more dark / taboo fantasies and realities.
