4 Stars!

I really enjoyed how easy this story was to read.  I flew through it in two days.  I hesitate to consider it a romantasy (for myself) because we spent the 80% of the book without the two love interests.  We were just feeling the grief of losing a mate and then adventuring with our girl to find her mate. 

I enjoyed the conflict between Tamsyn and Vetr.  I had a feeling about him in the previous book and I was totally right.  The author didn't take it too far, but she took it just far enough.  I really liked that plot point.

I'm hopeful for more of Kerstin and Nayden.  I wanted more of Kerstin in this book but I can't wait to see what sort of animosity gets cooked up in the next with Nayden. 

I loved the Stig interactions.  He was just perfectly evil. Though I do wish we'd been able to see what occured with the royal family post whipping scene. Oh to be a fly on that wall (or tent?).

I'm ready for the next book! 

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager.
