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 👑🩸

Sera and Nyktos taking the trope of two idiots in love to a new level. This entire series/franchise has a clutch on me. It was repetitive at times, especially Sera’s inner thoughts. But honestly I can relate. I have repeatedly told myself negatives about myself no matter how I was told different. And honestly the whole “Nyk can’t love” is bullshit cause 👀 lbffr

I loved this one. The best book between both series so far. The development that Sera and Ash make in their relationship but also in themselves is amazing. Jennifer Armentrout does a great job of showing these sweet intimate thoughtful moments in between hot and sexy passionate scenes.

The mix of adventure through exploring more of illeseeum, swoon-worthy romance, and anticipation for how they would develop a plan to defeat Kolis had me unable to put it down.

The betrayal at the end and the revelation of truths was so wild and sets up the next book. I’m excited to see how the series will unfold.
