This book could have been longer and I would have gleefully read every word. But I think that’s what makes a good series. When you finish a series and are desperate for another look into the lives of characters you’ve grown to care about.
What I would give to have a whole chapter AT LEAST to see the state of things after life calms down for Damen and Laurent and their new joint kingdom.

i think i'm pretty satisfied with most of this? 

it's been quite fun seeing damen and laurent's development and the types of things they get into. the political intrigue and scheming was heavier in this one, which, again, was a pleasant surprise. the sweet moments were /really/ sweet in this one - think with that what you will. i also like that there's quite a few quotes i'd want to go back and highlight. 

the ending did feel rushed or incomplete, it just came nearly out of nowhere. i do realise that there are short stories to go alongside the story, but there could've been more of an ending in the actual complete story itself, too.
