The first thing that stood out to me was the art-based magic system, and I love how Olson takes these other art forms and weaves them into her writing and magic systems. ![]() I don’t know that I enjoyed it as much as her debut, but this one was a lot of fun too. I enjoyed Jessica Olson’s prior book, and A Forgery of Roses sounded equally interesting. ![]() I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

Not only does this story have a wicked plot, but there’s a spectacular cast of characters holding it up. Nova and Adrian are a fierce, yet sweet couple, and I also loved the introduction of a new budding romance between teammates. ![]() Additionally, the romance is – once again – fabulous! I am HERE for more slow burn enemies-to-lovers (where-one-does-not-even-know-they-are-enemies) relationships.

I cannot get enough of the politics of this world. Renegades was already a fantastically constructed world, but Archenemies breaks the boundaries for what we know of Gatlon City.
