Iron & Fire by Ariana Nash

2.0

“You are a light in the darkness, a diamond in the rough. After everything you’ve been through, surviving your kin, you still smile. You’re kind, and brave, and compassionate. I do not think I would be the same had I suffered as you have. I admire you. For that, and for many things, prince. You are not broken. You are the strongest of us all.”

This series is a guilty pleasure. The sequel picks up at the end of book one with Eroan in guilt, thinking he’s killed Lysander and Lysander himself captured by humans. This was more emotional than the first. Lysander goes through some serious trauma and it’s a testament to his strength that he didn’t break…well didn’t completely break. While in the first book, Lysander is the protector, in this one, it was Eroan who took over that role.

“I have you,” a voice rumbled in the closed, quiet place.

Those three small words broke him open, laying him bare. And for the first time in a long time, living no longer hurt

Aside from the romance aspect, the war between dragons, men and elves continues. Tensions rise, alliances are made, friendships are tested and secrets are revealed.

It's still awful but by Alumn, it's addicting
