I just love her books. The wonderful story and always a bit of romance.
Keegan and Breen are perfectly balanced and I can't wait to read what happens next.
Edit audio book: I really liked the narrator. Her voice was perfect for Breen.

I really enjoyed the story but it does drag at times and some stuff could be chopped

I usually don’t read fantasy, but I enjoyed how Roberts gave me enough realistic fiction blended with the fantasy to keep my interest. Will definitely read the next book in the series.

I'm used to Nora Roberts' romance trilogies, where we see a set of three siblings/friends each settle down. This is not that--though it was still good.
This series has much more magic in it; the important part of the narrative takes place in a fey realm with dragons. I say "important," but I actually enjoyed the first half of the book, the "finding myself" part, even more. And I love fantasy! It's just that I turn to Nora Roberts specifically to see the "finding myself" part, and I wasn't totally in the mood for a high-stakes realm-changing battle. I feel bad saying that--after all, an author should be able to tell whatever story they like--but, nonetheless, it was the case for me.
Bottom line, this is looking like a series that will follow one character as she embraces her destiny, leads a war, and continues falling in love with a warrior. It’s deeply felt and I love the world building, but to be honest, that's not the storyline I'm into these days. Maybe someday I'll come back to it. ;)

3.5 stars. Get a burlap sack, throw in all the popular and well-used fantasy elements you can think of so you don’t actually have to do the work of coming up with new ones, along with some good old misplaced cringe convos that’s supposed to be “cool,” the stereotypical heroine who needs to find herself, and you’ve got this book. Not bad, tended to move sooooo slow at some points, pick up, then drop. i was not in the mood for all that. i may still pick up the second book though out of curiosity.
