Excuse me? THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING.
From the beginning I was wrapped up into this story. I enjoyed book one, and this blew it out of the water. I am officially attached to these characters, the plot and everything else in-between.
I loooove that it was dual POV. There’s a lot of complex emotions and hard choices to make. It all tore at my heart and made me ache. I love how this was written though. It felt real, with flawed characters doing their best, trying to take that next step forward and realizing what things you have to let go.
The romance picked up in ways I had been hoping for and I am HERE FOR IT. I love this found family and the new people that are being taken into the group. The other subtle relationships that may be popping up. The intensity at which I hate the antagonists. How the plot moves through fast and quiet times seamlessly. THE ANGST AT WHICH THIS ROMANCE BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES.
It’s all here, it’s all fantastic. Time to read this series.
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy Romance
- Language: a little strong
- Romance: 1-2 open – low/moderate explicit
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of life, near death experiences, torture, physical and magical altercations, battle themes
