Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

5.0

Where Furyborn had issues and lacked, Kingsbane made up for it with secrets, darkness, and seduction. This series almost lost me during the release of the first book and now with this edition it has won me back once more. I cannot wait to read the finale and see what is in store for the characters.

In Furyborn you meet Rielle and Eliana, two queens who were somehow connected to one another but separated over lengths of time - eventually we come to learn that Eliana is Rielle’s daughter who she sends away to save her life. The plot really drew me in on this one - the first book had a noble concept but with a lacking depth and connection. The world building is absolutely phenomenal and I feel myself living and breathing inside both worlds when flipping between the two time spans. I LOVE the angels - we see Fae in every single story in the YA belt, so this is wonderful and a nice difference and separation.

Here’s my issue - SIMON. Maybe she’s waiting to tell us more until the last book but something is very very off here and I need answers - it all happened too suddenly all at one time and needed a little more explanation or more time to properly happen... but I'm willing to forgive it with how in love with Simon I still am even after well... you know...
