A review by thebookishmusician
An Empress of Earth & Darkness by Noelle Rayne

4.0

Y’all… I could not put this book down!! There are soooo many swoony Torin moments and I am so here for it. I seriously could not stop highlighting his sweet lines as his love for Emara continues to grow. Emara continues to come into her power and I love seeing her stand on her own in the magical world. Viktir still sucks so much, but I think his character arc fits him well (I won’t say more because, spoilers). I’ve come back around to like Gideon again, and I’m secretly rooting for him and Sybil.

There’s quite a few character lines that are left unresolved, and I think we are in for an amazing book 4. Breighly, Artem, Kellan and Arlo get more page time and I love how much we learn about them. Honestly, Artem provides the best comic relief and I love his relationship with Emara!
