The twists!
Most importantly, the love is so, so beautifully written. Honestly, all the emotions are beautifully written.

Also, side note: Emily is such a nice human! I actually recently picked up my copy of "Scarred" because she lives close to me and did a little signed art card drop at a local Target and I was able to snag one! The art that she had done of Scar & Sara B. by the fountain is ✨stunning✨ and I loved having that visual while reading!

This book is kind of a hamlet/lion king retelling but again for the never after series, it seems the author is mostly using names and places and vague plot lines. I’d say this plot more strictly adhered to hamlet than hooked did to Peter Pan though. I like this book but I definitely liked hooked better. It’s a slow burn historical romance (light on history, heavy on romance), so all the spice is within the last 40% of the book.
I really liked Tristan’s character, as he’s the kind of morally gray for a good cause that I can get behind! He’s the kind of man who would burn the world or cut off a man’s hand for touching his woman. He’s definitely very possessive. He’s the definition of no grave could hold me down, I’ll crawl home to her. I loved his audiobook narrator as well.
One of the main complaints I have that is I listened along to the audiobook while reading the KU ebook and there are some major differences between the two. Some are minor like sentence structure (which can happen if narrators/editors don’t catch them) but also the ebook completely eliminated 90% of the lion king nods. For example, Tristan calls Simon “little tiger” in the ebook but “little lion” in the audiobook. The very end conflict is COMPLETELY different between the two versions and I’m not sure why?
