Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the digital ARC!

I enjoyed this book - the story probably isn't going to win any awards and it's not the pinnacle of story writing, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Harrow is the last Water Elemental - the rest of her kind were killed leaving her alone. The Elementals from this world are ostracised by humans due to the ongoing wars and skirmishes by the Elemental Queens. Harrow has spent the last 5 decades in the circus, pretending to be a human fortune teller.

Then Raith is captured and brought to the circus in a cage. Harrow feels a connection with him instantly, and wants to help him. But there's a lot more under the surface to Raith and his connection to Harrow.

I will say that this book felt very YA, despite Harrow being 60 and Raith being older. There was also insta-love, which some people may not like - particularly given Raith doesn't remember anything. The spice scenes were fine, but I'm not a spice person anyway so that didn't bother me.

I quite liked the plot, though the blurb implies that it's going to be primarily set in the circus. This isn't true, but I actually preferred that as I'm not really a circus person so I was glad it shifted focus.

Malaikah, Harrow's best friend, was a great side character and I very much enjoyed her. I'll definitely read her book when it's out!

I actually really enjoyed this book! I finished it in one sitting as I found I just couldn’t put it down! I loved the characters and the concept was one I haven’t come across yet and I just loved it! I don’t care what other reviews say make your own decision and read it!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my advanced copy of this book.
