Draven made a huge sacrifice by bringing Morgan to his homeland for safety and healing. He returned to the land that he was exiled from for committing a crime of passion. Although he has no regrets of the events that took place that night.

Morgan doesn’t know who Draven truly is. She begins to learning information about his homeland, and she realizes that there is more to the world than she was originally told. The secrets start to come to the light and Morgan might not be ready to face her past. But in order to save her kingdom she will have to.

This is book two in the series. Briar provided us with a new court, characters and answers to questions from the previous book. We got to know Draven in a deeper level in this book and his back story was heartbreaking.

The crumbs we were given about Morgan’s parents and her abilities had me itching to know more! I have my suspicious about her real identity, but I’ll keep those to myself for now.

Hands down one of my favourite fantasy series to date.

The spicy is spicier than usual from what I usually read in this genre but does not take away from the actual plot.

A little sprinkle of the Arthur/Merlin retelling too?

Also the surprises and twist???!!! Shooketh. I’m obsessed.

Arthurian Legend meets modern fae romantasy... for a nerd like me what is better than that?

Draven 100% grew on me this book, I had some mixed feelings about him in book, wanting him to be more fleshed out as I did not feel very connected to him as a character and Court of Claws really fixed that for me.

A lot of the pacing issues I felt in Queen of Roses I did not feel in Court of Claws. Court of Claws was the perfect pace for me mixing intrigue and mystery from the first book with trials (a fav fantasy trope of mine) and more spice than the first book as the relationship between Draven and Morgan really blossoms. 

Downloading Book 3 now....

“You have the most beautiful laugh, you know. You rarely use it, but when you do...” He took a breath and to my shock I felt him tremble. “It shakes the world. My entire world."

Again this world has me so enthralled. All my favorites in one place. Enemies to lovers, magic, heartbreak. Draven is top notch for his touch her and die attitude. I am absolutely smitten. Again with the cliffhanger, I am so excited for book 3

The enemy to lovers continues and I’m so hooked!!
More adventures, more lies and friendships formed, and so the plot thickens!! I need book three. I honestly so emotionally invested in this series and crave the next book. If you like SJM/JLA then you need to sink your teeth into this series!
