decent
This is a book centered around expectations, the good, the bad, the absurd - itβs a well done look, crafted around a plot that grows a touch thicker as more characters are introduced.
It is, however, a bit rough in places, loping along in staggering stops and starts. Fortunately, that moments are few.
MMMFMM, RH PRN. Slow burn / glacial if you expect action in the first book. We get a kiss, which is nice, but the author is respecting the characters trauma by not introducing it too soon.

Starting dragging towards the center, just waiting for the main event of the cliffhanger - but it all came to such a satisfying conclusion in the second book, it was worth it. I do feel the duet could have been one book but appreciated the time taken with character development.

2/5 starts - PNR RH - Warning: Cliffhanger- Shira is enslaved for 8 to the dragons who murdered her family then sold to the Fae, to be rescued 4 years later by her mates only for them to imprison her within their den. She has sworn revenge and will do whatever it takes to achieve it even if it means her death. This book is mostly a set-up before all the action (which will hopefully happen in the next one), so there is not much action of any kind. It is mostly running and arguing that happens, beyond that... ehh.

Shira is nothing if not a strong main character with an unbending will to achieve her goals β and yet she holds many flaws. What a refreshingly different story.
