This was cozy and a little steamy. I had a good time. I think a harsher editor would have tightened up some of the exposition but overall I liked it a lot.

SO CUTE!! I’m so glad I decided to read this one because it was so much better than the first two! The main issues I had with the first two books were totally changed in this one and it made it so much more enjoyable. I love Ben and I love Eleonore. They are great together and I found aspects of their personalities so relatable. 

Quotes:
“The problem with loving things was how easily love could be turned into a weapon.”

"Touch me and die"
 loved the change from the usual, “touch her and die,” because Eleonore is a badass who can absolutely defend herself. 

"When pride is that fragile, it's just aggression papered over insecurity or cruelty. It becomes a liability."

"Few monarchs deserve their crowns," she said
"Power corrupts," he mused.
"Or the corrupt are those who seek power in the
first place."

“…he’d rather love deeply and cry than feel anything less for his family.”

The thought was sudden, but it settled into his mind as if it had always been there. Of course he loved her. She was funny and insightful and strange and beautiful and complex. Six hundred years of words couldn't define her. Six hundred languages couldn't.


“Never fuck with redheads.”

”I love you…I’ll tell you in every language I know, and then I’ll learn how to say it in a dozen more.”


Questionable quote:

“Her chest was warm and she liked looking at him and she sometimes wondered how heavy his testicles would be on her tongue…”
Also can we stop referring to a woman’s labia as “folds” please?

Probably my favorite of the series!
