5.0
This book has everything you're looking for. The banter is so good. The layers and depths of the characters are amazingly developed.
Jonas is hard on the outside but a total soft on the inside, and I absolutely love it! Skadi is such a powerful and strong MFC.
*Spoiler Alert*
She is a bookworm and he builds her a library! That's the dream!
*Ends Spoiler*
One point that I must comment about is how incredibly LJ Andrews represented mental health issues and trauma through a magical perspective. Jonas with anxiety and panic attacks in the form of his own magic consuming him; and Skadi with trauma and depression also portrait through the darkness of her magic.
I love seeing all the old characters back and getting glimpses of their stories, too. And the hook for the next book was absolutely amazing!

“Be kind, be gentle, and be monstrous. I will want you every way.” - Jonas Eriksson
“To unravel you piece by piece, until the flame inside you scorches through this façade you keep. Until that fire is mine every bleeding day.” - Jonas Eriksson
