theres no chemistry at all between the MCs, its basically they are mates and are attracted to each other but it wasn’t romantic at all.
The plot was all over the place and all of a sudden Galin dies and has to be King of Hel with Helna (obviously not his mate). so basically they are both separately ruling their own kingdoms now and in Galin’s vision of the future via Fate, he sees himself ruling alone. its giving tragedy instead of romance. i wont be continuing the series.

Sooooo, this didn't go the way I thought it would, at all :D
We pick up a little while after the end of the first book. Ali is in the mines (aka prison), slaving away, while Galin is severely restricted due to the Helm of Awe he is wearing.
Hate, murder and pretty much total mayhem reign supreme when the elven factions go up against each other in a Winnowing. The winner rules all, or rather, as soon as the High Elves win, they will call for the utter destruction of the Night Elves. Something both Ali and Galin want to prevent, if only they could trust each other.
I'm not going to spoil it.. but let me tell you that you will not see that one coming, seriously!
The book itself was well written with no (noticeable) errors, it kept me entertained and eager to read more.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I must admit, I don't like 1 very simple fact... that I have to wait so long to know how this continues and omg, I have so many questions!!! A very enjoyable read and a great continuation of the series :)
