What a delight! These authors have created such an intriguing world with shadow magic and a cruel environment that I definitely want to revisit in future books.
The highlight of the book is the captor, Kyran. He is so sincere and sometimes a bit naive, but never stupid. The romance between him and Luke is beautifully woven throughout the plot, and by the end, their relationship just made sense. I truly appreciate books where the romance develops naturally, so you realize: "Huh... they are in love, and I don't question it at all. I'm just happy for them." The spice was hot and full of genuine need.
Luke was such a sympathetic character. Fighting for his freedom at every turn, he ultimately showed incredible strength and bravery. They really complemented each other.
The book is long, but I devoured every chapter, whether it was world-building or romance. And the description of clothes? Omg... a Goth's dream.
