As always characters I adore, a world I am drawn into - if I'm going to read escapist fluff, let this be it.

Wow. This was really good. This author excels at tension and angst. While we know that Marius is probably not going to die, and the odds are that he and Ranger are probably going to get their HEA, you spend the entirety of this book thinking... HOW? How is this going to work! I love books that make me wonder that. There is an excellent, dramatic climax that... may seem a bit deus ex machina. But I liked it so I don't care. I hope they write more in this world because I am loving it.

Another wonderful entry in the series, and a nice continuation of "The Duke's Demon", which is still my favorite book in the series, though "The King's Mage" definitely fights for that position. I love both the leads. I love the new lore. It's funny, heartbreaking, fun, and sweet. Great story. Look forward to "Winter of the Owl"!

“I mean this. Us. I want to keep doing this.” […] “I want to keep doing it. All of it, with you, forever.”
Brief summary
Marius is on the run from people who want to punish him for his previous crimes. Ranger is on of those people. But they end up falling in love.
First of all, I absolutely love redemption books and Marius wasn’t the best character in previous books in the series, so I was very happy to see his redemption. I liked how the story was done and I really enjoyed how I got to know Marius as a person and the reason why he acted the way he did.
I wanted to give Marius a hug so badly. He hadn’t had the best life and he didn’t really like himself because of it and he felt very guilty and reading about that just made me so sad for him.
I really enjoyed Marcus and Ranger together. Ranger was such a good match for Marcus and he always knew how to take care of him and how to make him feel better when Marcus needed him. These two were very well suited and I loved them as a couple.
I enjoyed this book but parts of it just kind of dragged for me. There was some parts that felt super slow compared to other parts of the book and I felt like the pacing of the book wasn’t equal, which meant that I really enjoyed some parts of the book and that I enjoyed some parts less.
I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest review.
