(Received an advanced copy from BookSprout and Frankie Diane Mallis!)
I didn’t realize how long this book was until AFTER I finished it. 700+ pages went by quickly, and at no point did I feel like it was dragging.
The pacing felt really good compared to the last book. We get action, romance, world-building, and knowing that this isonly book 4 of 7 really helped me with enjoying the ride.
Lyr and Rhyan are such a power couple and it was interesting to see them in some new environments! I wouldn’t say there was a lot of character development honestly; except by maybe one person. Also, Morgana’s POV was especially interesting to me and I can’t wait to see what she’s planning.
Despite the dangers that the main couple was in, I'm soo glad they were able to find alone time!! Loved that for them.
The multiple POVs seemed a bit excessive at first, especially of a certain character that I didn’t really like, but it ended up working out for plot reasons.
I loved all the parallels with the Lore, it felt like things were really coming together in this book, we even got a few surprises, but somehow this ended too quickly, despite the page length.
The ending was absolutelyheart-breaking!!
Looking forward to the next book!
