KERIS.

BLOG || INSTAGRAM

I binge read this on release day because I have no chill (and also I loathe spoilers so it becomes a necessity). ANYWAYS. I loved this. It was a great wrap up to Keris and Zarrah’s storyline.

I ADORE Keris. I loved his character progression throughout. He had a lot of hard choices and had to find a way to help his kingdom. I loved his passion (maybe a bit of an obsession) with making sure Zarrah was safe. It provided an arc that I was here for. He’s full of swoon and romantic moments.

Zarrah showed some solid character changes too. I liked getting her POV and seeing the subtle moments as she continued to struggle with the the truths of her life were unraveling.

I didn’t love some of the romantic scenes. One just flat wasn’t for me and I wish there would have been more general alone/quiet time. I LOVED all of the action, don’t get me wrong, but it made me ache a bit to see Keris and Zarrah together more.

There’s some perfectly placed Lara and Aren moments (of which I will hear NO SLANDER about). I thought it concluded well and the small hints about Ahnna have me excited to see even more of this world.
