I wish I liked this one as much as the first book. However the story seems to drag on quite a bit and I felt uninterested in the characters after the 2nd book. The new cover art is gorgeous though! I much prefer this to the original. Don’t let my review deter you if you’re interested in the series! I simply didn’t enjoy the story as much as others.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

I can't even express my excitement for this book, I did not see it on TikTok but I tell you it is worth the read. I rad way past my bedtime, immersed in a full on world that dragged me kicking and screaming into it and held me there. I cannot stop telling friends to read this book. Go out and do it you have too.

Everything about this is wonderful! The cover, the writing, the story! Overall, I can see why this is a viral book. I recommend for any romance or fanatsy or romantasy lover. This captures love and struggles all at once in such a great and entertaining way. moments like 'loving you has been life' had me screaming with joy and kicking my feet. Of course, not a standalone, make sure to read the others etc. I will say compared to this design cover edits etc vs the original, this version is something I would rather read and click on! Very well done and such an improvement overall.

I absolutely loved this trilogy and I'm so excited for the new covers! Sylvia Mercedes is the absolute queen of slow burn romantasy and this is the series that made me fall in love with her work!

The chokehold this series has on me is TIGHT.

I love love love this series. It’s so well done and thought out- granted there are some plot holes but very minor.

Such a good book! Loved the plot and the characters, and the journey development. Easy read.

Great cover for the book

The writing is lush and evocative, perfectly capturing the raw intensity of their struggles and the deep connection they share. Faraine’s battle with her own powers and Vor’s heart-wrenching decisions create a narrative that’s as gripping as it is poignant. The emotional depth and high drama come together in a finale that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
