An Egyptian inspired romantasy. Book 2 of the scorched throne duology. In this epic conclusion we get more world building, higher stakes, multi povs, and political intrigue. 

The romance became more involved between Sylvia and Arin with more banter, angst, tension and a true enemies to lovers slow burn every romantasy fans will fall for. 

I did feel like the ending was a little rushed, but overall I enjoyed how the story ended.

This was really really good! It is a longer book but didn’t feel like a slog at all. The world felt whole and interesting, the characters were delightful to experience, and it was just a great time. Even more than book 1, I thoroughly enjoyed the friendship and relationship between Sylvia and Arin, it was entirely satisfying not to beat around the bush about their feelings. I also loved seeing the plot unfurl from so many POVs. Normally I find it frustrating because it feels like incomplete pieces that don’t fit enough to make a whole story, but this book was a very satisfying closed circle. 

I wish I had more from the ending though, iykyk. I teared up a bunch reading this, which was rude.

many things to like:

1. arin and sylvia retain their own identities outside of their relationship, they conflict and I LOVE the two sides of a coin thing their relationship dynamic has going on
2. arin and sylvia both impact the plot omg i cannot express how irritated i get when one or the others presence in a romantasy couple is like nominal to the plot hate it so much
3. people die in ways that feel meaningful. they die for love for loyalty for their oaths. there are actual meaningful arcs and characters are fleshed out. i never felt like it was just character fodder dying. IM STILL SOOOO HEARTBROKEN BY THE TWO LATER DEATHS
4. she ate that ending up sorry

i still feel like i was given more information abt the world than i needed but i largely enjoyed myself. NOW ARIN IS A MAN WHO YEARNS!!! YES MA'AM
