🤩Series Review😍

Shut the front door! This series was everything. I could not put it down! It grabs and holds you until you finish the series. I was not ready for it to end.

This world was easy to learn and dive deep into. The romance, friendship, and characters were on flipping point! The fmc and mmc romance was there, and I didn't want it to end! I wouldn't change a thing of this series.

Don't walk. Run to this series!

The addition of more complex characters and the (perhaps altered) depth to Talon’s backstory helped, although I still find him rather insufferable most of the time.

If Queen Eldinar is sacrificed for Talon to live on whether by her own choice or his, I’ll lose it.

This was such an intense and emotional part of the adventure.
Calista & Inferno both had a great task ahead of them, both which seemed hopeless. Calista had to find her place in this new land, and prove herself an ally.
Talon really struggled with his emotions and the deal he made. His time was coming due, and he started to sink into despair, but he is still a brave man, who loves hard.
Even when things between him & Calista were in upheaval, he was there to protect her.
There were multiple brutal battles, with heavy losses, but there are still more to come.
