4.5 🌟 

I absolutely loved this tale it has the feelings, the tragic story, the romance and the backstory to an epic tale. Sarai is a princess that is destined to die on her 25th birthday, to save her kingdom she must marry before that time to the prince of the enemy kingdom. But Sarai’s past with the South Wind come back along with the man himself, who was called in by the king.

It was quite touching reading about Sarai in her grief, losing her brother, losing her love and on too of that losing her dream of being a violinist. Even through that, she must live thru the high expectations the king has of her which seem to be impossible and that brings Sarai lots of suffering. She simply wishes to not be a princess but does it because it must be done. I was really hooked from the beginning since reading about the South Wind and Sarai in the past. I really liked the progression of the story and how we don’t get all the information at once and at the same time we get some mystery about the labyrinth and the monster who is captive inside it. It has action, romance, mystery, court intrigue and even second chance romance.

I think this is my favorite book in this series. And makes me want to read the East Wind when it comes

The third installment of the series, I enjoyed this book the most. A play on a Minotaur retelling with a mix of a sleeping beauty twist but tied into the series plot of the four brothers banished in the directions of the winds the control. Great second chance romance trope too.
