Thank you NetGalley and Sparkly Wave for a copy of this e-arc!

Book 1, A Cursed Son, was great for me. Book 2 here, was FANTASTIC!

Step back into a world where you discover if the villains are really the villains? Is love true love? Heroes really heroes? Sometimes yes, sometimes no!

The author switched it up this round, going to a multiple POV story telling. I LOVED this decision. At first, I was skeptical, but honestly, I loved the side characters POV’s more than Astra and Marlak’s sometimes. We got SO much from these side characters and I loved exploring more of their stories. I think their own side adventures add to the whole overall story going on throughout the book, which is Astra working to find her true self. There was some twist and turns I didn’t expect and others maybe I did, but didn’t take away from the story.

We got a lot more spicy in this book too, which, thank you! One thing I really appreciate about the female characters especially in this story, is they are not ashamed about their sexual pasts. And that their partners don’t shame them either for their thoughts on sex. It’s a refreshing approach to the usual romantasy style writing. It opens up a lot of doors for directions spicy scenes can go.

The one thing that sucks about being an arc reader, is you have to wait EXTRA long for the next book. I’m excited for book 3 and hope it comes out soon!

Book 2 was perfect, more POVs, more spice, more everything that pulled me in fron book 1!
Highly recommend

I loved the first book and was dying for this one, and Day Leitao did not disappoint! Adding the extra POVs was a great choice and made the story so much more immersive, as was the spice!!!!!! I could not be happier with this book and can't wait for more!

I was so excited to continue reading the banter between these two. I also loved the insight into the other characters. I was nervous at first with how quickly the perspectives changed. But as I continued I really loved getting to hear about what they were doing. Most likely my favorite world I've read so far this year! I am looking forward to getting the audiobook when it's available!

I absolute LOVE this series! The multi povs add so much more depth to the story and you get to know the characters better. I really enjoy how the povs changed with the timeline instead of going back in the timeline. Multiple relationships. Nice amount of spice. A truly unique story that keeps you guessing what’s coming next. Ends in a mind blowing cliffhanger. Perfect for any fan of romantasy.

I definitely loved book one, but I looove this one! It’s fast paced, and I absolutely ate it up ✨🖤🗡️ There are some serious badass characters, and some fun new ones to love. The freaking sea king 😆 the end wrecked me again. Keep them coming — you’re killing it Day Leitao!
