I don't know what else to say except that this book broke me and my bookmark. It broke me in a good way. My bookmark, however, won't recover. It was an amazing read.

This book was fun and I feel like it was a good conclusion for such a big plot. I think having the ending be realistic and satisfying was well handled.

The first time I read Kings Rising, the ending had felt a bit rushed to me. But I love the parallels that really come through in this book. All of the DL scenes are perfect (even when Laurent was in his petty era and Damen was going to be every night listening to Mr. Brightside & Do I Wanna Know? on repeat lmao). 

The second time around I took a break before finishing the third act and I’ve realised that the ending just feels super abrupt lol.

I read this entire series in three days, obsessed with it and gradually learning to love Laurent and Damen. The characters had some great character development, it was fun to see them being confronted with their own beliefs and changing. This series also had some great plottwists and foreshadowing. 5/5 I recommend this to everyone who loves a good fantasy romance story involving two enemy princes.

SPOILER: There is foreshadowing that Laurent was sexually abused by his uncle as a child throughout the story but it is only confirmed close to the end that he was actually assaulted. Some more brief mentions of the uncle's disgusting preferences.
