I will admit that it took me about a 150 pages to get into this, but once I was on board it really delivered. The pace is slower than the first book, and it was a good lesson for me how rewarding it can be when you let a book take its time. The writing is so beautiful and well thought out. The characters are incredible. I feel conflicted about the ending. Ten years is such a long time for Arin and Sefa to be so depressed. If I die prematurely, I would hope my husband would move on with his life at least in a couple of years. If Arin doesn't want to date- fine, but couldn't he have found a really fulfilling hobby or mentored a kid or something? Suffering so intensely for ten years doesn't prove your love, it proves your unwillingness to seek help and try to be healthy.

This book broke my heart I’m every way. And also watch out to the author all that pain we had to witness and in the end we didn’t get to see them happy together.

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.
