The pacing was a bit strange, the third book span over a week yet this span over 6 months.
The character development was much better in this book. Tory was much more likeable, as well as all the heirs.
There are a lot of moments where I’m thinking “surely doing this would be much easier than the plan the characters are going ahead with?”
An unexpected highlight for me was Darcy and Darius’ friendship blossoming over their shared love and fear for Tory and Orion, which I hope will continue into the next books.
I love Darius’ love for Tory, even though she pisses me off immensely.
What I don’t understand is how easily daddy Acrux beat four heirs and two princesses, all of which are much more powerful once their powers combine and assist one another against one dragon and one shadow princess. It kind of felt like an unlikely move to make just to cause more shit to happen.
Also, I was wrong in betting Diego was a villain, but I KNEW he was a nymph from the very first book!! Called it!!
It’s getting to the point that I’m losing love for the main characters if there’s nothing to root for and no point doing so?

I need to take a break and read a standalone or something because I'm too invested in these characters.
After taking a break by reading a couple standalones to mend my broken heart, I confirm I'm still obsessed and in love with this series, I just hate reading about the characters I adore being in so much pain 😭
