5.0

Finally Chosen and Taken are one! I loved the convergence of these two series. I also love Stacy Jones’ enviable ability to tell small stories just as well as epic ones. There are literally two characters present for the majority of this book, but it felt just as important, just as vital as books like Protector and Aria’s Ascension, which had huge casts of characters. 

 

Also, the spice in this one is spicing. Whooo boy. 

 

There wasn’t a single thing about this book, I think, that I didn’t like. 

 

Unfortunately, learning it was written during a particularly difficult time for the author makes me wonder if they’ll continue with the series. I would completely understand if they couldn’t do it anymore, but I hope continuing it brings them joy instead. Not just because of my insatiable love for this universe, but also because I’d want the author to have that for themselves. A place of peace they can retreat to. 

 

Regardless if this is just the most recent installment or the final book in the series, it’s been one hell of a ride and I will always, to anyone, recommend these books. 

 

These will eventually be part of my physical bookshelf.
