The Evergreen Heir is slow compared to the rest of the series. I’m not sure we needed all of the details of their journey to Arboan, especially since we don’t actually get to find out what Tal’s precious possession is.

Thank you to A.K. Mulford and Harper Voyager for the ARC of The Evergreen Heir.
The Evergreen Heir is the 4th book in the Crowns of Okrith series and just like those before it, I couldn’t put it down!
I have been so intrigued by Neelo since the first book (The High Mountain Court). They are bookish and quiet but oh so brilliant. A.K. As usual has done a fantastic job with the diversity in her books. Neelo is non-binary and though it’s not said aloud I think they may be on the spectrum. While our golden eagle Tal seems to have dyslexia.
Tal and Neelo are thrust together to try and figure out just what is in the witches brew, a potent drug, that the southern court indulges in. Neelo’s mother is an addict and is suffering from the effects of the brew. Neelo thinks that there may be more to the brew based on how it’s affecting people and they learn to lean on Tal to help.
The book has fated mates, intrigue, some spice (handled wonderfully!) and secrets. Absolutely one of my favorite series that does so much for representation in the fantasy genre.
