 When we left Lor I was completely broken.  I couldn't believe what had just happened.  I was dreading how to finish the series without wanting to throw the book at the wall if certain things did not happen!

Thankfully all has been rectified in my little world and Lor and her family get the ending they all deserve.  There are allies won and lost, new friendships formed, and families are reunited.

Nadir and Lor have been #couplegoals since book 1, even though at times I worried just how they were going to get that HEA. I have loved getting to know Ouranos, the various kingdoms and queendoms.  The world is really well described without being totally bogged down and the mythology of the world was new to me and I really enjoyed seeing that Gods can be a*holes too!

Lor has been an amazing character to see grow throughout the books.  She has overcome so much and is deserving of all the good things in life.  She can be sly, sarky, stubborn to the point of insanity but she is also brave, loving and determined.

The spice is spicing and the action scenes don't get overlooked - the romance and action are equally well depicted.  #Did I have a giggle at the little #soapgate in-joke - why yes, yes I did!

It's sad to leave this series.  It has been an absolute dream - it was so refreshing where the main characters are not pasty like me, they are vibrant, colourful and unabashedly themselves.  The LGBTQIA characters aren't stereotypes and are just as wonderful as the main couple.  My only grumble was I wanted to see into the future and see who Lor is now that she has peace!
