This book took me a little longer than the ones before it. I struggled after the first chapter due to the murder of a group of Dryads which included a baby. Right before their death they were in pain and I really dislike that kind of thing in my books. The death of children automatically loses a star for me. It is one of my biggest turn-offs (the same applies for animal torture!)
Once I was able to move past that, I very much enjoyed reading this!
The stakes were high and the characters were in danger.
Unfortunately, due to the plot line we didn't get to see a lot of the regular group of characters which was sad. I did miss them!
There were a few chapters at the start and end of the book from povs that weren't Elloren, but the main focus of the book was Elloren.
The downside to this book was that it did feel like a filler book. Not a lot realistically happened and we seemed stuck for a lot of it.
Elloren this book was very irritating as well. Constantly moaning about how weak she was and how uncontrolled her magic was. It became repetitive and I was getting very frustrated with her.
This is a romance heavy book and I felt the romance took over the plot, so if that is your thing, this book will be great for you.
I am excited to start the next one as, even though I feel like this was the filler book (think a montage of character development), it ended in a place where you can tell the plot will really pick up again .
