This one did things to me. I haven't had a reaction to a book ending like this in a while. The author has to be projecting onto Laurant, meaning that they both plan ahead and have everything planned out. It's brilliant.

I JUST....SO MANY EMOTIONS. The characters are so complicated and well-rounded, and each move is carefully planned out. This series is definitely not for everyone, but if you like it then you LOVE IT. I am so freaking invested in these characters, and I cannot WAIT to see what happens next!

“He needs me,” said Damen. “I don’t care if you tell the world.”

Reread: September 2021

The building relationship...the clever politics...the minute details...Laurent’s control...it is all just <b>so good</b>. The ending gets me every. damn. time. Just an incredible trilogy, with an incredible sequel.
