Some very tense moments in this one. While I was happy that Claudia was able to put her archery to good use, I really wanted her to deal with her brother and his obsession with her.

I enjoyed this one more than [b:Poisoned Web|18504355|Poisoned Web (Deizian Empire, #2)|Crista McHugh|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1379369093s/18504355.jpg|24331773], and almost as much as [b:Tangled Web|13549029|Tangled Web (Deizian Empire, #1)|Crista McHugh|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1331914479s/13549029.jpg|19114731]. The thing I loved so much about this book was the tension and level of danger in Galerius' mission. The scene in the tunnels at the end really had my heart racing.

Galerius and Claudia were as strong characters as the previous leads, and I cant really say who my favourites are. I love them all. I think I may have a soft spot for the brooding Galerius though. I am so happy that he got his HEA. He deserved it. So did Claudia. Its hard to believe that she is the same person who was trying to steal the Emperor from Azurha in book one.

The story in this one was well developed and I loved seeing Galerius' slowly unraveling Hostilius' plot. And the romance was perfectly paced. At first I was thinking it was all just sex, but before I knew it I could see their relationship developing into something so much deeper. It may have been too long since I read Tangled Web (exactly one year ago), but I think perhaps the relationship between Galerius and Claudia is my favourite of the series. They make a perfect pair.

I absolutely adore the beautiful world [a:Crista McHugh|3035791|Crista McHugh|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1391281866p2/3035791.jpg] created for this series, and although I think the story is done being told, she could always write more set in the Deizian Empire, and I would not be apposed to that. :) A story about Marcus would be nice.

I would like to thank the authors for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.
