Reviews with content warning for Torture - The Emperor

I think the writing was better in this book compared to the first two but still very cringy at times, it also feels very slow. I'm intrigued by the plot so I'll read the next book as well but I wish we had discovered more by this point
also not a big fan of the weird age gap they have cause at some point she's like 13 and he's 19?

i forgot how much i loved amara and dante. even after two years, i could never forgot them. now bear in mind, i am rating this as a mafia book (which usually aren’t that best plot wise) and their undying love was what stood out to me the most. even though every hardship they went through they remained each other’s constant.

I adore Dante. I am so very happy Morana and Tristan are still here though.

Not usually one for a pregnancy in my romances but I'll allow this one.

This book changed my brain chemistry. This series has quickly become one of my all time favorites. All the characters absolutely own my heart and Runyx is an incredible writer. Amara’s journey and character growth in this is so inspiring and I will say this time and time again Runyx is absolutely INCREDIBLE at characterization and making you feel the emotions of the characters she is a GURU!! A MAGICIAN!! Everyone feels so real and is so lovable even through being morally grey. I can name the amount of books that do morally grey as well as Runyx on one hand. And DANTE!!! OH MY GODDDD 🫠🫠🫠🥵🥵🥵 He’s the epitome of the perfect man. He’s smart, emotionally mature, honest, devoted and soo protective and thats just a summary of how perfect he is!! He’s even a damn artist and a beautiful one at that! He likes to listen to audiobooks and sculpt!! He’s also actually falling over himself to worship Amara like honestly you couldn’t ask for more. His and Amaras fight to be together is absolutely everything!! They are so perfect for each other they really are true soulmates. The development of their relationship too is so for lack of a better word *chefs kiss* I love Amara so so much!! Shes so strong and kind and I want to be her bestfriend 🥲 Also the epilogue of this book had me SOBBING. Amara & Dante are one of my favorite couples of absolute all time. They are soulmates and they have fought to be together so much and I just LOVE THEM 😭😭 I dont have enough words to describe how much I love this book and this world and these characters so all I’m going to say is thank you Runyx for creating this It’s brought me so much joy and comfort 💗💗

i didnt love it as much as the first two books as i found it a bit harder to connect to the relationship, but i felt for the characters and it was interesting when the plot started to come together
