LOVED this. It was really similar to Dawn of the Onyx, but so much better!

Pros:
- I really loved Diem’s relationship with her father and brother; it was really sweet.
- I really liked Luther. I’m a huge fan of slow burn so loved that it was drawn out and not instalove-y at all 
-

LOVED when he took care of her after she went back into the building. Love a good caretaking scene. I think it was especially special and sweet since she is the healer so is typically the caregiver.

 Cons:
- Slow start for sure. A lot of build up and world building to grasp.
- I actually could stab Henri with a blade and not GAF.

like when he volunteered her to go into the castle to spy?!?!?! Like are you an idiot! You literally don’t care about her. Disgusting

 - Can we pls pick a different manly power other than shadow daddy powers pls

Ending:

so I’m an idiot and definitely didn’t see the end coming like her being the queen. I totally called her mom being alive but am super interested as to WHERE she is. I do want to learn more about the Descended and their court politics. Also excited to see more LUTHER!
