Of Want and Wings is a captivating addition to the Magic & Monsters series, with an emphasis on romance and character development. While the overarching plot takes a backseat, the sizzling chemistry between the characters more than makes up for it. The romance was well-paced, and the steamy scenes kept me engaged from start to finish.

Khari, as an FMC, stood out in the best way- her shy and reserved nature was a refreshing change from the usual bold and fearless heroines in the genre. This made her journey all the more compelling. While reading the previous books in the series isn’t necessary, I found myself drawn to them once getting into this one. A solid 4-star read that romantasy fans will love!

This is the first book I’ve read of Magic and Monsters series. This book had fated mates and forbidden love, which are tropes I enjoy. However, I didn’t think there was a lot of story building on the characters, the world/history, or how fated mates came to be.

The FMC (Khari) was shy and reserved, which was different from most other FMC in this genre. I do think that Khari was made to be a little too helpless throughout the book.

The chemistry and spice between the main characters was the highlight of the book. Their love was a love that everyone looks for in a mate.

K.L. Ziggler delivers another captivating installment in the Magic and Monsters series with Of Want and Wings. This book is an intoxicating blend of sizzling romance, raw acceptance, and the undeniable pull of two souls meant for each other.

The romance is undoubtedly the heart of this story—electrifying, passionate, and beautifully balanced with deep emotional connection. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and the way they embrace each other's flaws makes their love feel all the more authentic.

The MFC is a standout. She’s strong, determined, and fiercely independent, though her naivety at times adds a layer of vulnerability that makes her journey all the more compelling. Watching her navigate love and freedom is both inspiring and heart-wrenching.

With Ziggler’s signature blend of fantasy, intrigue, and deeply layered characters, Of Want and Wings is a must-read for fans of romantasy who crave both heat and heart in their stories.
