Summary

From the author of the viral, bestselling #bestofbooktok sensation "Under Your Scars" comes one more tragic tale.

The Angel of Foresight, blind where it mattered.

Val-Theris Angelicus, the Angel-king of Seraveth is burdened with the curse of foresight. Haunted by visions of his own death and the fall of his kingdom, he is torn between crown and prophecy. Val-Theris has led his people into an age of prosperity as Oros the Bloodletter, the king of the neighboring kingdom of Korvath, seeks to conquer all.

In the midst of a war, Val-Theris takes in refugees from the small, neutral land of Lunareth, which has been invaded by Korvath as Oros and his army march toward Seraveth. One such refugee, Jesenia, is a weary, proud, and determined young woman who cares greatly for her people. After warning Val-Theris of an impending political assassination attempt, she slowly captures the heart of the benevolent Angel-king.

What begins as stolen glances and whispered conversations turns into love too dangerous to exist, and Val-Theris learns that the visions he’s plagued with were both prophecy and warning he was too blind to see.

This is a story of yearning and defiance, where a young woman tries to save the last of her people in a city that doesn't want them there, and where even angels cannot escape tragedy.

What a sad feeling when you finish a book by one of your favorite authors (I literally bought it on release day because I was SO hyped), and it just WASN’T IT 🥲

I love a good dark romantic tragedy, but the plot just… wasn’t really going anywhere. It felt like the characters were constantly having the same conversations over and over, while nothing actually moved forward.

And the ending? Even though “big things” were happening, it was still somehow predictable. I kept waiting for a twist or something that would really shock me emotionally, but it all felt a bit too safe and vanilla for the type of story it was trying to be.

Not terrible by any means, but definitely disappointing considering how much I love Ariel Anderson’s other books 💔

Kinda disappointed

It's been a long time since I've read a book that I was so involved in, which is a testament to the author's writing skills, but unfortunately most of the time I wasn't involved in a good way. The huge flaws and incompetence of the main characters were a huge source of frustration for me throughout the book and made the tragic ending quite unconvincing.
The best part of the book for me was chapter 21, where we can see the dynamics and building of the love relationship between the protagonists (which had been quite weak up until then).
I have nothing but praise for voice actors who've read the book and the only thing I would change in that context is hiring more actors for different roles (in my opinion, there were too many minor roles to be covered by the same two people, although they did their best to give each character a different voice).

Voice acting carried it
