“Sometimes, to love someone, we have to let them go. And that sometimes, in order to go where we need to, we must turn away from one path, onto another.”
Read this book if you love;
• Enemies-to-Lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Found Family
• Touch-her-and-you-die
• He falls first
• Strong FMC in a world of men
• Bantering and spicy scenes!
The plot started out with a strong opening, the main characters (Drue and Talemir) meet immediately and I instantly fell in love with the spark between them. I love their bantering as well as the sassy and funny remarks from both of them!
The story is told in dual POVs with good pacing and great writing style which makes it easier to envision the action scenes and the world building.
The characters (both main and side ones) are well developed and loveable. I like that Drue and Adrienne have a fierce and determined personality which makes them a great leader.
I also like seeing Talemir's character grwoth in accepting himself.
I feel satisfied with the ending, although it’s not the end of everything. Things are from over and I would love to explore more about this world in the next book with Wilder as the main character in Blood and Steel!
Talemir and Drue will also make an appearance on the second book which will come out later this year, I feel so excited for that as well!
Overall, this is a great prequel to the series. It’s highly enjoyable and entertaining!
It’s the perfect combination of action, fantasy and romance with all of my favorite tropes thrown inside as well!
Thank you to Book of Matches Media and author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
