These books are amazing! Definitely under represented, I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about them! Def not what I was expecting and not just another run-of-the-mill romantasy with a strong FMC! (Although she does kick ass!) 
Reshaye is such a unique concept and is really fascinating to me (and no spoilers, but that reveal 😲). Definitely recommend!! Only not a 5 ⭐️ read for me because the middle felt like it drags a bit to me.

My biggest takeaways from this book:

1) My brain is not hardwired for reading intense fantasy books, but hats off to it for loving and appreciating this one regardless.
2) I need a Maxantarius Farlione in my life.
3) Humans make everything worse.

This book reminded me of how I felt for the first half of Heir of Fire, or during Kingdom of Ash. Our cast is split up from the beginning, and that made it hard to be motivated to read the story. Plus, we’re introduced to an entirely new set of characters, seemingly out of nowhere. 

However, once I was hooked, I was hooked. 

reading about Tisaanah’s and Max’s experience in Zeryth’s war was what I thought the entire book would be about. Boy was I WRONG. the introduction of Aefe and the entire Fey storyline was intriguing and confusing and made no sense until the 80% mark but when it DID, it all fucking clicked. Also, Caduan being ALIVE??? Ishqa’s betrayal??? There were so many times in the last 25% of this book where my jaw was on the floor. 

Also - Nura? Yeah, FUCK her. I felt so much sympathy for her during her POV chapter but that all fucking shattered when I realized what she did to Max. What she said about Max during his trial. Where she put him. That bitch is INSANE. 

The entire world is about to feel Tisaanah’s wrath and I am so ready for it.

absolutely crying over the fact Caduan didn’t actually die and he went back for Aefe!!!! And now she’s an entire living being again which is crazy. I was really hoping for a Nura redemption arc but clearly she is the main villain. Max got the absolute dogshit end of the stick so I’m interested see how this plays out. Felt kind of like an idiot not realizing sooner that Reshaye and Aefe are the same person. I didn’t realize Aefe’s timeline was taking place years prior so when it was revealed it was like everything clicked for me.
