Honestly I lost what the plot was supposed to be very early on but I wanted to see Zara and her men (as well as Nova and hers!!!!) be happy.
When Nikki is introducing his pack to the king, he calls Zara "Callanova" which confused me until I realized that it was a mistake.
Zara offering Ryujira some jam and him accepting it made me smile.

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better!! We pick up pretty much right where we left off and continue the adventure of trying to save the world from collapsing. The plot was amazing and the pacing kept me hooked the entire time. This sequel had even more spice and MORE group scenes. It was so hot I can't even find the words to describe it.
The bonds between Zara and her men were so genuine and deep and I enjoyed watching them strengthen their ties emotionally as well as physically. The fact that Nikki told his dad (the king) to piss off was amazing. Watching Zara get chosen over and over by her pack tugged on my heartstrings. After being gaslight for years about her pain, she finally had people to advocate and stand up for her.
We even got some Nova chapters that were oh so sexy. I'm excited for her book. Such a great duet and I absolutely cannot wait to check out more from this author.

The book was 90% hot smut with the FMC Zara and her harem and maybe 10% actual and gradual progress towards solving the issue with spirit magic in the world. While this was an omegaverse, the way that the heat was implemented was a little unbelievable - Zara seemed a bit too calm and sane for somebody that should have been in a biological fever.
The character development was very shallow, if any, and the non-FMC omega Nova also got a decent number of point of view chapters in this book of her romantic interests - for what purpose other than share more smut, I don't know. In my opinion, this should have been saved for a spin-off book (which seems to be the works). All the spirit magic used was incredibly hand-wavy, and Zara never actually got any real lessons that I could tell considering how little non-smut time she spent with the spirits and Kivai. Zara miraculously knew what to do to defeat the evil spirit villain with not much difficulty.
The easy resolution, lack of deep world and character development, and the confusing typos (like the prince Nikki introducing Zara to his father as Nova instead) made this series a superficial non-memorable read and not something I would pick up again even though the basic idea of the society and world were interesting. I probably won't check out any other writing by this author based on this sample.

a great conclusion!!
Absolutely loved this conclusion to the Omega Sanctuary duology!! I’m sad to see Zara and her mates go, but they had a great adventure. Looking forward to seeing Nova and her mates story!

I liked where this story begins and ends. But there was no growth shown in between. No magic training, no learning history, no learning dance moves on the page until they're suddenly used, etc. The characters grow but we're not shown how. Yet they somehow have all the answers they need for the final battle. And, let's not forget that when Zara proposes her solution to their thousand-year issue, the response she gets is "good, that's how we used to do it." Ok so why aren't they still doing it???
Anyway, let's not even start on the horrible grammar and spelling errors, including Nikki introducing Zara as Nova to his father. And let's not get into the fact that Zara is baking treats during her heat, sitting on the porch eating breakfast while scheming during her heat, in the library with one of her alphas because they all separated to different areas of the house she wasn't in during her heat for some reason, and they have more sex outside of her heat than they do while she's in heat. That's so odd.

I don’t know what it was about this book but it took me almost 2 months to finish? Normally I’m a one book a day reader so that’s unusual but somehow I wasn’t captivated by the story any longer (even though I really liked the first book). I read about 10 other books while I couldn’t bring myself to finish this one until I finally did. now.
The storyline itself is interesting and I liked the characters and everything, I don’t know why it didn’t hold my attention but yeah that’s how my journey with this book went
