I adore the Trollkin Lovers series and this fourth installment is my favorite so far! The romance is incredibly sweet. The characters are adorable and hilarious.
Rimi is a human that comes from a foreign land across the sea where trollkin are nothing more than ancient legends. Lo’zar is a troll and a member of the criminal underground of the largest trollkin city, Kalishagg. Their meeting seems impossible with an ocean between them, but when Rimi is kidnapped from home to be sold to a buyer in the trollkin lands, Lo’zar is the smuggler assigned to transport her. Will he remain loyal to his criminal clan and follow through on selling her off? Or will he follow his heart and not only free this mysterious human, but escort her safely home?
The story is fast-paced and interesting with plot twists that I did not see coming. I definitely think we get a deeper glimpse into the trollkin way of life in this installment more than any of the others. I love the conversations and interactions between the characters. The happily ever after is so wonderful and perfect.
Lo’zar is a thief from the streets with a heart of gold. He is so soft and gentle with Rimi that it warms my heart. I love his playful, feisty spirit that can both tease and comfort at the right times. Despite being small and not all that physically strong, Rimi has a brave heart that carries her through her intense struggles while maintaining a positive outlook on life. She has such a kind and loving personality that truly brings out the best in Lo’zar.
I adore this couple and I hope that we get the chance to see more of them in background of further books in this series! I would also be very much interested in a story from Graz’s perspective. He is such an intriguing side character and he yearns for his own happily ever after.
