This was a much better book than the first one. It kept me reading and I'm curious how the rest of the story will play out.

This book just further proves why I love fantasy so much. The mystery, the romance, the characters...
I can't wait for the next installment in the series. I am very excited to see what will happen to Lor and Nadir.

This book has been a great time for me. It was certainly better than TOTSQ. Lor was a bit insufferable at the start but she evolved in a very satisfying way. I love Nadir, he might be one of my rare book boyfriends if the sequel is going to be as good as this book. I love that he knows his wrongs and I think he might try to not replicate them next. Also love that he is a feminist despite his nature. Only down side to the book is that the writing at times is unrealistic. Like Lor, a woman that has been in prison most of the time, has a complex vocabulary. At times I had to look up the words she uses even if she has not read a single book (or at least she didn't say so) in her life. Her vocab is even larger than people living in castles! Like only Lor uses words like "surreptitious" or "anti-climatic". Oh and also Lor

has been a bit homophobic towards her sister and Amya

3.0

While the bones of a good story were there, it feels like this book just missed the mark. It wasn't and descriptive and dynamic and I had hoped, and although we spend a lot of time with the main characters, they still don't feel very round. Entertaining, but not as strong as I wanted it to be based on the premise.

I liked the story and really liked seeing Nadir more in this book but really did not like Lor’s character.

Highly praised for its engaging elements of wit, humor, and tension, particularly in the 'enemies-to-lovers' relationship between Lor and Nadir. The exploration of familial bonds, especially between Lor's siblings and between Nadir and his sister Amya, adds depth and relatability. The narrative also delves into Lor's past and the history of the world of Ouranos, enriching the story. I eagerly anticipates the next installment in the series.

much slower than the first book, but i loooved the character & romance development. our main character is just as strong and fierce, and i appreciate that she attempts to hold onto her boundaries lol.

the plot and stakes feel incredibly convenient most of the time, and the fantasy itself definitely took a back seat to the characters.

Three words: Spice. Spice. Spice.

It’s an okay book, but it does focus on the main love story above anything else. The writing could be better. The steam took away from an actual plot line. My guess is they will end up with a “fated mates” trope, but I found it hard to believe the main characters motivations for the relationship. It’s a bit repetitive in terms of the characters, and they don’t really have a lot of growth. I hope the third book provides a better arc. I do love the constant cursing at comically timed moments. Not a lot of authors can get away with that.
