I love to be back in this world. I liked the plot progression that we got and I'm excited for book 3.
I was so glad that we got more Kipp, Thea and Wilder.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. After the shattering events of Iron & Embers where Torj made all the decisions for Wren about their bond, they now have gone 10 steps backwards in their relationship. Wren can’t stand the sight of Torj and wants nothing to do with him. This book tests their relationship and brought back all the yearning. I absolutely loved the only one tent and very forced proximity in this book but I also loved the rebuilding of Wren and Torj’s relationship and the slow burn. Then of course there are all the lovable side characters of Kipp and Cal and Dessa and Zavier and the fact that Thea and Wilder make a big reappearance. Can’t wait for the final book.

Helen writes another epic fantasy book, following on from the cliffhanger that left us reeling after Iron & Embers, we dive straight back into the world of battles and alchemy. 

What to expect 
Bodyguard x Alchemist 
Soul bonds 
Magic 
Alchemy 
Secrets and schemes 

I felt like this book had a slightly slower start but by the end I was eating this up. The yearning from both MCs throughout was perfection even if the did have their conflicts their love did give off endgame vibes and I hope this will be the case. But Helen does leave us on another epic cliffhanger putting everything into question. 

Helen writes excellent spice and this REALLY picks up in the second half of the book. 

I also just love the found family vibes of these books, and the string bonds the group has, they have each other's back through everything. 

I feel like I have way more questions after reading this book, which is usually the case in book 2, I can't wait for the next one to see how it all plays out.

Another excellent book in the Thezmarr universe. So good. I finished it at 3am because I couldn't stop reading.

My Ratings:
4.5⭐️ 3🌶️ 5🎧

ABSOLUTELY, 100%, LOVED THIS BOOK!  Loved Wren & Torj’s relationship development, LOVED the longing and pining and angst, loved the banter and Wren trying to get under Torj’s skin, LOVED LOVED the supporting cast moments from one of my fave found families ever (Thea, Wilder, Kipp, Cal & more!), LOVED the plot and where we’re going, LOVED (hated 😂 the ending IYKYK)

I just loved it okay!  Book 2 had me in a chokehold the entire ride! Obviously I finished it in under 48 hrs because I needed to know what was going to happen!  I’m So SO ready for Silver & Smoke!!! I know it’s going to be a wild ride!!
