The Hourglass Throne by K.D. Edwards
4.0
adventurous dark emotional fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Book three continues to grow the characters and we get some insight into the fall of the Sun throne. Rune has claimed his old throne and now has to establish his court. He’s called to help with an investigation which leads to discovering some unrest in Atlantis and the lost Hour Glass throne. 

We get more found family and humor and we see how protective Rune is over his family, particularly his bonded friend Brand. 

This one almost pushes a romance into a platonic polyamorous relationship. Rune has wards that he’s responsible for too so he’s growing as his matures into his power. 

I enjoyed this one. It went a bit hard on Runes past trauma but overall it was fun. It’s also nice to see a series where they recognize COVID is a thing.
