This book follows Aehako and Kira and they are so great. I go back and forth between whether book 2 or this one is my favourite but I think I like Aehako the most out of all the "Barbarians". I could not stop laughing about his courtship gift LOL. The plot line of this book was just as good as the spice and the plot itself is definitely my favourite so far. I could not tell you why I love these books so much but they are so easy to read and can get you out of any reading slump. Read an intense series and don't know what to read next. These!
