i told myself i wouldn’t continue the series, but here i am. this one was fine, but i found Kira had the least personality compared to the other girls. her story of experiencing infertility was interesting though.

This is probably my favorite story so far. I love the differences between Kira and Aehako, and how they chose to love each other without the whole resonance/fated-mates. (03/2024)

4 out of 5 stars.

Barbarian Lover is another fun, quick read, with plenty of spice and a great pairing. Some of the challenging narrative aspects—especially action—are rushed and awkward, which did diminish the overall quality of the writing and story. However, the romance in this one is especially sweet: it was less fated mates and more friends to lovers, which I absolutely vibe with. I enjoyed seeing Kira and Aehako’s relationship blossom, with them choosing each other first. I admit I hoped that the ending would go in a different direction, but the series is what it is, and I don't fault the books for that. Even if some of the content ultimately doesn’t line up with my preferences or values, I can still appreciate them for what they are—lightheaded, steamy romps.

Kira's story is my favorite in the series so far. This one was the most high-stakes out of the first three books and I loved every second of it! According to the author's note, this was the first book of the series that wasn't serialized, and it shows. The story had great movement without feeling repetitive like the previous books sometimes do. AND we're introduced to a new mystery that I'm excited to read about in future books!
