This series is absolutely everything to me! It's like it was perfectly designed for me in particular. You can look at my past reviews to get a sense of generally why I love this series, but the quality kinky smut, interesting magic system, and peak polyamory rep are all top contenders for why.

This book in particular really delves even deeper into the plot and the worldbuilding is so amazing. I am absolutely obsessed eith Olbric and Arlon getting to develop there relationship and I really enjoyed the switching perspectives (though, if you are wondering about the page count, it's because this book is basically two entire books in one because of the complex plotlines playing out at the crux and on Dom's mission). It was also great to see Dom experience the wider world and meet some excellent characters along the way! This book definitely gets dark, but I was here for every second of it and the smut is still top tier. If you haven't started this series yet, go do it!!!
