”So maybe it was time we stopped denying our birth right. Because the Vegas had been born to rule. And I was sick of being forced to bow.”

I must admit that I struggled at times while reading ”Shadow Princess”…

I found that the only chapters that I was looking forward to reading were Darcy and Orion’s — Tory’s were frustrating me immensely because it just felt as though we were stuck in a loop that just kept repeating itself the entire time.

One aspect of “Shadow Princess” that I did enjoy, though, was seeing the Vega twins visit the palace for the first time! :)

Seeing their parents love story play out, and seeing the love that they had for their children, was so heartwarming and sweet…

(The snowball fight scene was also adorable — I’m so glad that Xavier was able to participate in his order form! He deserved that moment of freedom after everything that he’s been through…)

P.S. Orion is still my number number one man — I refuse to believe that he is dead. ♡
