“If the story of your life were a book, I’d carry it with me across the world. I’d read it every night. And whenever I reached the ending of what had been shared with me, I’d open it to the first page and begin reading it again.” - Marcus

Wow. Thank you so much for the publisher for sending me this book, I know I was soooooo behind with this but I was a little overwhelmed with the amount POVs and length. This is not a quick read. However, IT IS WORTH EVERY WORD. we finally get to meet Agrippa! Thank god I was so excited. I do want to read tarnished empire. This book was everything. I loved dark shores and dark skies but then the glided serpent COMBINES EVERYTHING, ITS A LITTLE SUFFOCATING. As usual the world building and plot twists are relentless.

Marcus: I love this character so much I can’t begin to explain how relieving it feels to have someone in the military position with a disease or mental illness. I am one of those and it not mentioned enough in the real world. Because it’s an unfortunate taboo. Marcus doesn’t let it destroy him or his role as a leader and it makes me so freaking happy and hopeful!

Teriana: She is soooooo devoted to her people and she is soooooooo strong mentally and physically which is very unusual. I love her spirit and I think she’s stunning too.

Lydia: My main Bish & Teriana’s. With her glasses on or off, she is a graceful healer, devoted friend, and epic lover. PRINCESS KATARA WTF THAT WAS UNEXPECTED. I KNEW SHE WAS A QUEEN IN HER OWN RIGHT BUT LIKE DAMN.

Killian: My main squeeze, what can I say?

Agrippa: he’s like a baby Marcus with traitor issues. I like it.

This book had so many different perspective that kept me wanting to read the next chapter. The cliffhanger makes me desperate to read the next book! I really enjoyed the world and character development this book had.

What an exciting ride this whole series is. I was so invested. It broke my heart but also healed it at the same time. Danielle's characters are so raw and everything makes sense. Every twist, every struggle, every moral twist. It all makes sense. It's not very spicy but I really don't mind that she rather took the space to paint to let them connect on a deeper level. Which made the redemption way more exciting.

Ohhhhh! I thought this was the last book. I was quite surprised when it just ended. It took me about 30% of the way in to get into the book, but then it really held my attention. I’m glad I got used to 4 different POV’s.
