Laurel and Thorne
This book is fun in a different way than the first. Thorne and Laurel are thrown together with an immediate mate bond. That is a lot for process fir both of them. Both are fiercely independent, but learn to work together and being healing from past trauma.

It's just getting better
I think this was my favorite of the series so far. I think I'm really getting attached to all of the Guardians. Cloud intrigues me the most along with the Sluagh.
I have to admit that I could not stand Laurel or Thorne for the first half of the book. Laurel was too driven and was full of motivational nonsense for me and Thorne was too angry and felt sorry for himself.
What made me love the story was the other characters and the developing plot. It's weird when humans are the bad guys in a story but humans do not treat the Earth as we should so it is interesting. I'm hoping for balance and acceptance as an ending .

More give me more
I didn’t quite like Thorne as much as I liked his father, Rush, and that was a great disappointment. This book however was still very good, I like how interconnected it is while still giving each couple their own part in this unique take of the end and beginning of the world.

Reread with paperback and audiobook for Fae Guardian Readalong leading up to AWORAR:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
🌶️🌶️/5.
Thorne was a tough nut to crack. Since he was a pup , he never had a choice so he kept building this rage inside of him hence the grumpy and douche behavior. He needed someone that would put him in his place and to show him that living like he was wasn’t living at all.
He never knew happiness until he felt it through Laurel and that tugged at my heartstrings.
He was an a$$ sometimes but he also had his moments.
Laurel was the type who won’t take BS from anyone and she dances to her own tune but whenever comes the time for her to be down to earth, she doesn’t unapologetically.
Thorne was a mess but he learned his lesson by the end and I loved seeing it.
I’m excited to continue my reread!

4.5/5 stars.
I’m really loving this series. Can’t wait to listen and read the next one!

Thorne, Rush’s son, is looking for his mentor, Jasper who has been missing for 10 years. He only takes in Laurel, his Well-blessed mate because Clarke has told him Laurel is the key to finding Jasper. Laurel slowly breaks down Thorne’s defences.
I love Lana’s world and writing. The only reason this score is lower than Book 1 is I found Laurel a little annoying and not endearing like Clarke. I like that you get a complete story in each book but you have the prompt for the next story and an underlying thread that links each book.

This is book 2 of the Fae Guardians series and I am really liking it! The world building is so easy to follow and I love that each book is a couple’s story! I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as I liked the first one but that being said, it was still a good read.
I loved Thorne and seeing him bond with Rush and play with his little sister was the sweetest
