Very little plot for such a looong book, with so many cringe sex scenes. The language/speech used at certain points does not match the setting. Will read the last book when it’s released and available at the library due to morbid curiosity but wouldn’t recommend.

I’m shattered! It was so nice to see more of the Orea. Queen Kaila is horrendous but a wonderful villain. Though I do hope she dies painfully. The romance between Slade and Auren just gets better. And the little side stories, I look forward to all the pieces coming together. Didn’t see the various endings coming.

Easily the best of the series, but that cliffhanger ending though!! The spice between Auren and Slade peaks in this book. But I knew during that ONE scene it was cause everything was going too well despite having 15% of the book left! Also why Argo?? The poor baby did nothing to deserve such treatment!
