Great addition to the series!
I loved this story! Friends to lovers aren't my usual but this was perfect! I felt for Maeva - I felt her heartbreak and her determination to move on and find a purpose.

I liked this one. It was nice to get a little more plot development in the Dakkar world, and I loved Maeva's character. Kiran hurt her a lot the first time around, and she didn't forgive him right away but made him work for it - good for her! I only wish there was a little more conflict/jealousy, etc. in this, and maybe a bit more spice. It was a sweet romance though.

Awwww Maeva!!
I kind of loved her.
Kiran annoyed me for about 50% of the book and his reasoning for stuff was stupid. This is probably a 3.5 read but I've rounded up because I've loved this series and I can't wait for more.
Zoey Draven has a huge backlist. I cannot describe how excited I am! :D
The first and third book in this series were extremely addictive but it seems the even number editions just haven't worked for me. Broken by the Horde King follows the same basic formula of the first two books however like the second book in the series the middle half drags, 2ven when I listened to the audio at 3x speed I was bored. Couple the poor pacing with an indecisive, flip-flopping hero and it just wasn't my jam.
Tropes: childhood best friends to lovers, rejected lover, second chance romance

Reread:
This one isn’t my favourite of the series but only because of one thing. The story overall was on par with the rest of this series, I loved the angst and, the grovelling was perfection. I just wasn’t as big of a fan with how the MMC handled the years of them being apart.
(Minor Spoilers)
I dislike above all else (besides cheating) when the MCs have some time apart and the one who hurt the other continues living as if nothing happened while the other is stuck heartbroken and pinning. In this case, while Maeva is unable to move on and is still a virgin, the MMC went off, had sex with a bunch of women and didn’t even look back for 9 years until he had a vision with her in it. In my opinion, what made it worse is that whenever he was with another woman he felt like he wascheating on her. So while she couldn’t even bring herself to be with a man that wasn’t him even though he broke her heart, he was having sex with all these other women but hey, at least he felt a little bad while doing it? I think if he didn’t see her as anything but a friend at first and grew to love her when she went to help his horde, it would have been a five star read for me.
(Minor Spoilers Done)
I did really like Maeva though. It was interesting getting to see her as a healer and I liked how she didn’t fall right to his feet. There was some serious - and much deserved - grovelling and I liked that Maeva didn’t give in too quickly. I will say though that the necklace he gave her was very sweet.
I love the series and this book was a very enjoyable read. I love how each book shows different point of views of this world and introduces new concepts of how they live. In this case, our FMC grew up in a saruk (a village) and became a healer. I love getting to learn about this world Zoey Draven has created.
