”I’d been born to rule. And I was going to claim my place in blood.”

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet because I just finished ”Cursed Fates” and am not okay at all…

I LOVED getting to see the Darcy + Tory bond a bit with the Heirs in this novel — it was a refreshing change in dynamic.

I also enjoyed seeing Xavier + Darius bond with their mother more in this novel as well!

The rest of the novel was painful though…I having nothing else to say about that (I am currently trying to wipe everything bad that happened from my memory).

P.S. BlueLance better reunite in the next book. ♡

The excitement and tension all through the book kills me. My favorite one of the series BY FAR.

Loved the evolution between the Heirs and the twins, enemies to allies is always great. But even greater is enemies to lovers. Im obviously taking about Tory and Darius. Even though Tory denied their connection when they had their Divine moment they decided to defy the stars, and I’m obsessed with it. Hopefully they achieve it, even with Orions help. Who, btw, annoys the hell out of me. I understand he wanted to protect Darcy after they were caught but he took it too far. I feel bad for Darcy, she is finally happy after years of feeling worthless and now she lost the love of her life (who she believed to be her Elysian Mate), her sister and the world seems to he crumbling down.

 When it all comes down, CANT wait to get to the next book :)
