I loved the relationship between Cardan and Jude and the growth Jude experienced throughout the course of the series. At least those were the highlights for me, there were many more amazing things about this book but we’d be here all day if I listed them in entirety. ...more

What I liked: The relationship. I loved the relationship between Eoghan and Maeve! Of course, it didn’t help that I’m a sucker for a good enemies to lovers. In the beginning there was a lot of animosity and hatred but by the end, there is no doubt in my mind that Eoghan would have died for Maeve. One of my favorite parts was seeing them together at the end. It's like I could feel the chemistry! My one con with the relationship is how fast it developed, as much as I do love enemies to lovers, I also enjoy a slow burn too. It just felt a little abrupt. One minute Eoghan hated her and the next he was in love with her.
Galgalesh. Is there really any explanation needed? He was hilarious. Seriously, some of his one liners had me rolling! Not only was he a great comedic relief, he also had a really great story line. I loved his relationship with Peadair. Don’t get me wrong, I hated Peadair but I thought his actions and Galgalesh’s response to them were definitely unique. Also a great LGBTQ+ rep!
What I didn’t like: The lack of explanation. At the beginning of the book there are pages worth of lore, from seasons, to kingdoms, to gods. It honestly felt a bit overwhelming. To the point where the author really didn’t want to do any explaining in the books, so she just did it all in the beginning. Kind of like one big info dump, but the story hasn’t started. Now, granted, a lot of fantasy authors will do this so it’s not a huge deal. I just would have liked to have more explanation in the book, verses having it solely in the beginning.
The predictability. I’m going to keep this one short because I feel this has more to do with me personally as a reader. To me, the ending seemed quite predictable. Maybe not everything but with that specific character reappearing it definitely didn’t surprise me. Though, the foreshadowing throughout the book was well done, and I think the reappearing of this character will be a very interesting plot driver in the next book.
All in all, this book was great! I can’t wait to read the next one… Please let it be out somewhat soon! ...more
Well, there went my weekend. Do I regret binging this series? Absolutely not.
I swear this must be laced with crack because I ate that shit up. EverytWell, there went my weekend. Do I regret binging this series? Absolutely not.
I swear this must be laced with crack because I ate that shit up. Everything from the steamy spice to the captivating plot (but especially the spice)
Going into this trilogy I hadn’t read the first 3 books so I was a little worried I would be too confused. And not going to lie there were times where I was absolutely lost but in the end it (sorta) made sense!
I obviously have to mention the best thing about the book, at least for me. The spice. The first book basement scene… deceased. Like I’m talking ...more
Omg I loved this series so much! Like I actually have no words to express how much this series affected me. In total the ⚠️CHECK TW’S BEFORE READING⚠️
Omg I loved this series so much! Like I actually have no words to express how much this series affected me. In total the whole trilogy took me 2 days to finish. Yes, two days that’s how good these books are.
Everything about it was chefs kiss. The characters, relationships, and plot were all phenomenal! I usually have a favorite guy when it comes to reverse harem but I honestly loved all of the guys so much. They were truly in love with Phoenix, like I’m talking full on lay my life down for you. They were there after the horrific abuse she suffered, lending her strength and love.
And don’t even get me started on their snuggle sessions!
