This was worth the wait...up until now, all the books I read in this series had been written, so I was able to move on to the next without waiting.
This book was fantastic, Asar and Mische were so well written, their romance and constant sacrifices...perfection.
More than the characters, the continuing world building, the developing plot...loved it all.
Bringing in beloved characters from previous books (including the novellas) made my heart happy!
I know this is not the most eloquent review... but perhaps more so than me kicking me feet and grinning... which is what I did immediately after I finished.
Now comes the painful wait for 2026 and the continuing story of Septimus and Nyaxias' ongoing desire for vengeance.

I started reading The Crowns of Nyaxia series because I liked The Serpent and Wings of Night cover and figured I'd see if any of the "Romantasy" books had decent plots. I've liked this series so far because the plots have been varied and the sex scene's aren't overdone or egregious imo. Thought this was a good book especially because it's difficult to write a whole story around someone who began as a likeable side character. It's much more organized than the last book which is a big positive as there's a clear storyline. If you're reading this book than you're likely a fan of the series and this one is on par with the first two book.

Side Note: Would be great if the focus went back to the original MC's as I think there's alot more there to expand on but maybe their arc is over?
