Alexa Ilijic's Reviews > The Concealed

7 out of 5 stars. Is that enough? Probably not. I freaking loved this book. Absolutely devoured it.

Cate (the fmc) is so relatable as she finds herself navigating a role and a world she knows nothing about. She feels all her feelings, pushes through when she can, and eats bread and cheese alone in her room when she needs to. We'd be besties. I'm always a fan of two love interests, I knew my choice early on! But there's a part of me that doesn't fully trust authors not to bait and switch me (looking at you sjm) so I'm anxious to see how Cate's love story plays out!

This portal aspect reminded me of a recent read, The Lost Story, and there are aspects that remind me of Map of the Otherlands, and even at times Throne of Glass.

My only baby complaint is that the large battle at the end goes so quickly - but truly I loved this book and I cannot wait for the next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!
