A very satisfying arc for the world building. The devil's island is very different from things that came before. And the relationship angst and conclusion is very satisfying.

4.5

Such a good story, and definitely a strong sequel to “The Inadequate Heir”.  Plus, we get to see more of Aren and Laura from “The Bridge Kingdom” and “The Traitor Queen.” Fans of both epic fantasy and romantasy will love this story (although it is quite long, so readers should prepare themselves for that. I wouldn’t call the pace fast, but it does move quick enough that things don’t drag but slow enough so you have time to really grasp what’s happening).

Only giving this a 4.5⭐️ because I did feel like there were some minor plot holes, but I also think the author may have left those intentionally so she has launching points for future books in this series ( 🤞 ).

4.0

I’d love to give this book 5 stars, but I don’t know if it was because the book was longer than the previous ones or if it was the story or if it was just my anxiety, I’ve thought the development of the story pretty slow and I got into a reading slowdown from 20% up until 80%. Despite that, the story is great, the ending was divine. Don’t know if I’ll read the next book (not an Ahnna’s fan), but I’m definitely looking for other Danielle’s books.
