Gosh, I absolutely love this book. I didn’t think we could get spicier and more enjoyable but here we are.
I will save this book, felt a little repetitive, and I think it could have been shorter and more enjoyable that way. Of course, because this book follows the same timeline as the second book, there’s a lot of things the reader knows going into it and so a lot of things I felt like I wish it was sped up a little bit. But overall I still absolutely love this book.
I love the characters dynamics and being in their head. Especially Keris who we got to see acts very differently than what he feels and thinks is right. The complexity of his character in fighting with himself was something I really enjoyed about his character development in the story.
The main reason that I lowered this book to a four-star is because they were a few extremely high stakes dramatic scenes that I felt like the characters reactions were very under played, and I would like to see more from that.
The romance was a slow burn and thoroughly enjoyable. The spice was spicier in this book, which just made it even more enjoyable and although the ending took an interesting turn, I am super excited for book 4, and I’m very glad I do not have to wait much longer to pick up this book. This series will definitely be a new favourite romance, fantasy series and I am excited to try more of this authors work.
