This is one of my favorites in the whole FBAA and FAF combined series. It's very emotional, with enough sweet bits to soften the dark, heavy parts, and the smut is really good because of that emotional aspect. I will warn readers that there is a bodily violation that isn't precisely sexual but still carries that sort of weight, and it really bothered me much more than I would have expected, given that, as I said, it's not actually sexual. Like all the books in this series, it suffers from poor copy editing and info-dumping, but not nearly as much as earlier books.

I am doing the alternate reading with B&A and F&F intertwined. Once again, the banter is chefs kiss🤌  Sera and Nyktos are the power couple I needed. I love every aspect of them! The side characters are amazing and keep me entertained and enthralled. The Primals, minus Veses (lol), are cool to learn more about and get a feel of. The plot, the scheming, the realms, and the romance make it so easy to lose yourself in these books. I'm jumping right into the next and am dying to see what is to come for the couples of both series 👑🩸
