I'm so grateful to Nisha and Forever Publishing for granting me an ARC of this emotional roller coaster. I have had the honor and privilege of being an ARC reader for this series and, y'all, it's been a *very* emotional journey. Especially chapter 73. I cried. A lot. My kids (and dogs) were concerned. 

This is the conclusion we needed. Nisha ties up all the storyline flawlessly, with a few twists I never saw coming. 10/10.  I'm a little sad that it's over, but this is definitely a story I will come back to and reread in it's entirely. Lor's evolution is amazing. And Nadir... I will never get sick of Nadir.
