BLURB:

When a bloddied, secret message destined for the powerful Lord Tiede ends up in the hands of Aren, a young Apprentice serving in the greatest library in all of Cordelacht, his life starts to unravel. A murderer is leaving grisly sacrifices all over the city in the name of Magic, Aren’s little sister starts relaying messages from the gods, and the Lady Tiede becomes a little too familiar with the bumbling Apprentice. As intelligent and handsome as he is naïve, Aren has a gift for saying all the wrong things and stumbling into hopeless situations, like falling into a mysterious scholar with her own hidden agenda.

Now, it’s up to Aren to save Tiede, and to do so he’ll need to rekindle his masochistic relationship with Tiede Wood, the magical and cursed forest that protects the House. Will Aren unmask the monster on the killing spree and finally prove his worth? Or will he succumb to his personal demons, unable to overcome the stigma of being an Unblessed, and die as goodless as he was born? REVIEW: Stars, What did you do to me? I’m suffering from a hangover and my mind are still playing the scenes from the last chapters where the whole Cordelacht/ Tiedans are fighting from the mages and summoned monster.

I want to make this whole review about Aren only, how he’s so amazing, so perfectly handsome, so appealing, alluring, attractive, smart, brave, very ideal brother, and a faithful citizen of Tiede. But of course that’s foul, it will be unfair for the other characters. Let me tell you first all the adjectives about Aren. From the great choice of his name makes me imagine how handsome as God he is. Again, he’s so amazing, so perfectly handsome, so appealing, alluring, attractive, smart, brave, very ideal brother, and a faithful citizen of Tiede. Oh my gosh! I can’t handle my giggles right now because again, he’s so amazing, so perfectly handsome, so appealing, alluring, attractive, smart, and brave. I know I’m very redundant but he’s really so amazing, so perfectly handsome, so appealing, alluring, attractive, smart, and very brave, that I can’t help to repeat it again and again, Lol😅! His green eyes.. Is the most tantalizing pair for me😍. The way he loves and protects little Selina like his own sibling makes my heart melt. They are a siblings goal!

Stars, I think I’m in love with Aren😍😍! Ok fine! Did I said not only Aren will takes all the credits? Let’s go to the Gods and Goddesses. My favorite Gods are Geir and Tanghi because they’re in favor of Kaila and supports her no matter what the circumstance is. Alaric? I’m a bit disliking him for being so possessive. My first impression to Taia is a traitor. I sense that she has that kind of personality. I don’t know if my deduction is right because they’re will be a book 2 and we will find out that in the continuation. Another favorite character is Petraun. Though, he only have few contributions in the story, I still love this cute gnome. He reminds me of the seven dwarfs😂😂. The Gerrit brothers is the coolest buddy and I’m like “I wanna be there sister!” I hated Geyle for being such a whore! (oops! Sorry for the word) You can’t blame me. She’s flirting with Aren. It’s because Lord Vir can’t spare a time with her due to his obligations doesn’t mean she will commit adultery. If I would be a Tiedan, I won’t address her as a Lady because she’s too flirt! flirt! flirt! Urgh… She’s getting into my nerves! The Priestesses are so annoying too. They hated Aren as if he was the most jerkiest guy alive. Why? What on earth Aren done with you girls for you to loathe him? He’s the hero after all (not to mention all the troubles he had been through for the sake of the cordelacht). Nianni, on the other hand, is so cute imagining how she frowned in annoyance everytime Aren make fun of her. We both know that our hero sometimes had this naughty attitude and it makes him hot! 🙊🙊(Don’t ever think I’m pervert).

Ok, enough! I think I’m spilling all what’s in the book. So let’s get narrow it down. The first time I started reading it, I find it hard to put down. I even missed my meals most of the time and staying awake at night. But those hungers and eyebags are all worth it for this kind of book. Those portals, staff, swords, marks, summoned monsters, magics, and curses are what makes me addicted in to it. I remembered how I managed to suppress my shriek that midnight (only It’s because I don’t want to commit a public disturbance because neighborhood are snoring) when I already reached the bottom part and I want more, Some pages please.. 😭😭 The author have no idea that I’m really in the verge of insanity. She turned my world upside down during that moment. But I am so proud of her. As a fellow Filipina, you’re a living proof that there are still someone who is saving our literature.

I ended up giving the story 5/5 without hesitation to think twice. The book and the author deserves it more than ever. I’m still teary-eye, I am so much disappointed because Aren is just a fictional character living in a fictional world. There’s no really chance for us😭😭😭– I’m so doomed! 😖😖
