4.75 ⭐️
This is Romantasy at its finest! This book officially has me in a chokehold. I literally JUST finished it and my mind is reeling with so many questions that I need answered immediately!
This book was so well done from the amazing world building, intriguing politics and storyline, beautifully written romance and some dark elements all woven together. This definitely is an adult fantasy book given the spice, darker creatures, magic and gore at times.
Saeris is our typical badass FMC and we love to see it! She has persevered through the most horrific circumstances her entire life yet always finds a solution. She is loyal, devoted, powerful and incredibly brave. Kingfisher is her perfect counterpart and I admire him so deeply! Talk about an amazingly well written MMC. This man has so much trauma and such a dark past yet he is still so deeply good to his core; always trying to make things right for those around him and sacrificing himself above others. The romance between these two is steamy and so beautiful that I was SOBBING at times! There were a couple of reveals between them that were ACOMAF chapter 54 worthy, in my opinion! 🙌🏼
The only reason this was not a 5 ⭐️ for me is due to some editing errors in the book. I think it could have really benefitted from one final round of revisions. There were missing quotation marks, at times there were missing filler words such as ‘the’ and ‘in’. I also feel like there were a few parts that were a little over explained and a final round of edits could have cut down on some of that.
This book had so many jaw dropping moments that I never knew which way the story would go. Every theory I had ended up being wrong and I was on my toes the entire time! What an amazing story. Probably one of my favorite reads of the year!
