I had seen a review before I started this that mentioned the FMC is a bit of a punk (more or less) for the first half of the book. I can agree with that sentiment and am glad I knew that going in because it allowed me to give her space to grow (even when I was frustrated). Here’s your sign to push through!
BECAUSE IT GETS SO GOOD.
There’s something really magnetic about Wildenstein’s writing that kept me enthralled. I usually like to juggle multiple books at once and you won’t find that here because I kept wanting to see this story progress.
I loooove Lore. He’s the perfect dark, broody lead that I know we all love. I thought there was great banter between him and Fallon and there was some solid relationship development too. I appreciated the slow burn aspect that let the characters shine first before steam was added in.
For a plot surrounding war I thought there would be a little more action (seems like it’s coming though!). I adore all of the friendships and tight knit group that has been formed over the first two books. This is of course a romance, but the other scenes play in so well that it helps surround the story with even more fullness.
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 2-3 open; high explicit
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of life, kidnapping, weapons violence, physical and magical altercations, battle themes

If you love a great fantasy romance series, this is right up your alley. I loved that this second book had mystery, romantic tension and sweet spicy moments. I also very much enjoyed how Fallon’s coming into her spirit and warrior-ness is developing and how her relationships are portrayed. Highly recommend this series.
before anything this has to be the most ridiculous simile i've ever read
He still lies over me, his cock softening unlike his resolve to set a crown upon my brow.
anyway reading this kind of felt like i was banging my head against a wall like how can someone be so blind
i wont blame her for who she is, impulsive rash etc etc but she definitely ran up against clear evidence of some truths and said 🧑🦯🧑🦯🧑🦯

Say hello to this amazing book that kept me up well past my bedtime... Talk about unputdownable! I adored the first book and I'm absolutely in love with this one! Witty banter, slow burn that sparks an inferno, the friendships that make my heart happy, I could go on all day! Everything I love in a book can be found between these pages!

It’s been a while since a series sequel has earned 5 full stars from me but this one did it easily. This series is easily one of my all time faves.
The slow burn was *chef’s kiss*
The character development, the world building, the plot. So so good. I’ve been in a book slump for months and it’s taken me many days to finish books lately, but I finished this one in a day and a half.
And that cliffhanger. Gahhh. I need book 3 immediately!
