This was a good Romantasy with an interesting magic system and world. I liked the characters and enjoyed the development of the romance. As with nearly every Romantasy I’ve read, it’s a planned duology, so it ends in a cliffhanger. I’m getting really sick of cliffhangers, especially when there’s no release date for book two.

It was a bit predictable but that didn’t take away from it being a really fun read. Will definitely read the second

Romantasy with Nordic/Viking elements. A little slow with the world building but the ending reveal was very intriguing. 

Reader warning: explicit sexual scenes, assault attempts, violence, and death.

Listening to the audio book was so worth the wait on Libby for me! I got to follow along in my physical edition as well! I'm feral for Roark and Lyra! I couldn't get enough of the magic system in this one, weaved with the Norse elements, it's all just *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼💋

The 3 taps really resonated with me because I do something similar with family, only it's 3 hand squeezes. The side characters as per the usual with LJ's writing are incredible here! Thane may just have my heart tbh. 🥹 

I cannot wait for book 2! Felt like it was the perfect spot to end book 1!
