Wow, such a different feel from the first book of the series! The spicy scenes got maybe a little too graphic for my taste but that's just personal preference and definitely not a knock on the rest of it. The story definitely kept me coming back for more,

although I am a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers plot.

This will be my all time top favorite story. The hype is real. If you are thinking about reading just do it. I’m new to fantasy I could not put this down. The detail and character development and story is just so realist and mind blowing. I loved this plot and just ate it up. Beautifully written the story behind these characters is just amazing. Would rate it a million trillion starts. The amount of emotion I felt reading this. I tabbed so many parts I ran out of stickies. This is just an A+++++. Must read and will never stop thinking about these characters and their story.

Just still wow, can’t not even process how much I loved this. Read this with a friend because you will want someone to talk about the craziness of this story. Could not put down will stay up all night if your not careful. This story will always be in my brain and heart as I truly loved it.

While I love this book, it always feels like two books to me, which is why it only gets four stars.  I love the characters, the enemies to lovers, the intrigue, but it never feels like one book.

I'm struggling to understand why this book series is getting so much hate. The first book, fine, the first 2/3 dragged and laboured, but it did hit it's stride. This book has well and truly kept up the momentum. It's not Tolkien and that's fine. What a boring world it would be if that was a requirement of the genre. This is a perfectly enjoyable high fantasy with solid pacing, good character development, some nice little twists and a sufficiently opaque plot that I'm genuinely interested in where it will go next.
