I loved this so much!
Full review to come.
Warning to everyone, though.. this is a DARK Romantasy. I feel like Brambl may not be doing the best at marketing this. Because I see a LOT of reviews that are dogging on it for the dynamic in here. And if you are not fully warned, this is going to smack you in the face. No shade to anyone who isn't interested in that, but it is a big part of this story.
If a Master/slave scenario in Ancient Rome, where they fall in love isn't gonna work for you... maybe... DON'T read it? Just for your own peace of mind.
I had a thrilling time though, as I did know what to expect, so I was there for the journey and for learning about this world and the dragons and everything else involved.
5 stars
3 on the spice scale
*Thank you to the author and McMillan for an ALC and ARC of this title.*

Brambl did NOT accurately describe, market, or place TWs on this book. So any reviews where people hate it for the dynamics are their own (Brambls) fault. How they are not putting TWs or even a line in the blurb about Malina being his captive... it's not smart, IMO. I knew going in what it was about, so I had a good time. But I also read Dark Romance every day. The general population of Romantasy readers does not. Seems like a recipe for unhappy readers.
