I really liked this book. It was nice to see Slade and Auren grow closer and see their relationship evolve. The ending of this book had me gasping, crying, clutching my pearls. It was nice to see more of Slade’s past and more of the world. Auren has been through so much and although she occasionally slips on her journey she is so resilient. The relationship between Slade and Ryatt is also complex and interesting. There are lots of great written characters

and a lot to happen in the impending war.

I’m really interested to see where the series goes from here but I’m invested

Easily the best of the series, but that cliffhanger ending though!! The spice between Auren and Slade peaks in this book. But I knew during that ONE scene it was cause everything was going too well despite having 15% of the book left! Also why Argo?? The poor baby did nothing to deserve such treatment!
