I accidentally spoiled the ending when checking to see how many pages there were, but I still wasn’t expecting it. My heart broke so many times in this book and there is no solace yet. I can’t wait until the next installment, where we will get to explore more that this realm has to offer…and potentially more.
The only issue I had with the book was that Courtney Thorne only said “male” and “female” and was never “man” and “woman”. It was just super weird to imagine people actually saying something like “that female looks so pretty. Must be so great for a male like you.”

“If I start something with you now, you’ll never eat. Because once I get the taste of you, I don’t think I’ll ever get enough.”
Aurelia has been promised her hand in marriage to all the other four kingdoms. But she has a secret no one can know. But for the first time, she has a bit of freedom to explore outside the kingdom and wants to go with the Fire Prince Alev and join him in his kingdom to celebrate the Fire Season. Soon the other kingdoms may want to claim what is owed to them. How long can we hold them off?
This book I enjoyed and it’s a very slow burn but we made it! I will say I feel like the last 5% has many plot twists and I was shocked but worst of all I feel like I have been lied to and manipulated “he was just acting” NO WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I’m gutted and still processing those words. I will throw hands! But other than that I will say I thought Aurelia would be strong in this but I found her a little weak. She cried a lot, it was a repetitive emotion that kept coming up. As she was sheltered her whole life and after what happened in book one I thought she could stand up for herself more.
Other than that I’m enjoying this series and looking forward to the next book.
