Part two of this book could have been shortened considerably, and some of the plot points were very predictable. Overall still had some twists, and I look forward to book 4.

Praise Diem! This badass is still going. Saving her mom and all the others captured, dealing with her own inner circle drama, and finally, FINALLY some HEAT. NGL Ophiucae scares me, but his backstory is v. unique and totally surprised me. Watching Diem add crown after crown has me on the edge of my seat.. and that ending, well…thankfully I didn’t break my kindle 🙃 can June get here sooner PLEASE!

Diem has been crowned Queen, but without a successful coronation, she is unable to take power.
This series had so much potential, but falls into the same trap that so many other series do. They are so unoriginal, that they become incredibly predictable and become indistinguishable from one another.
The attempts to misguide us fell flat, and honestly all the "shocking" reveals weren't shocking at all.Obviously she was going to collect crowns and take on their powers, we all saw her blood being healing coming from a mile away, of course the sketchy kings and queens would betray her, we know they are going to be mates... There was so much repetition and unnecessary content that did nothing to advance the plot.
Diem is such a frustrating character. She makes no sense to me. She is supposed to be this incredibly kind and smart character, but is so self- centered and makes the dumbest choices. She has shown such little growth in these 3 books. Guess she takes after her mom, who is, IMHO, an asshole.
Luther had so much potential. He is a complete simp for Diem, which is sweet, but he has no personality and is a very flat character. Loving Diem is his entire personality.
The lack of communication between these two made me want to DNF.You have a life threatening injury, but instead of saying anything you push away the one person who could help you because you don't want to see her sad. WTF? That makes ZERO sense. Every time we think they are going to communicate, they are interrupted. EVERY TIME. This is not a plot device, this is lazy writing.
I'm not going to lie, the smutty bits felt very out of place, like the author realized the slow burn was too slow and just threw it in.We were just flighting a war, but now we get 2 days to relax in a library. Ya, that makes sense.
Tropes: slowest of slow burns, enemies to lovers (kinda), war/rebellion, fantasy
