DID NOT FINISH: 15%

What happened to our FL? She went from a major bada** is the first book to a whiny child. 

What an ending!!! Can't wait for book three.

OMG WHAT??????? The surprise ending in the last book was just ahhhhhh but the one in this volume?? I’m simply flabbergasted. I had some inkling that Layala was somehow connected to The Dark Mage but being HIS WIFE was way out of the left field.

The plot was cool and easy to follow along, and I laughed a lot at the witty banter and the shenanigans going on. I also did cry when Gunner died and was kinda disappointed when Layala wasn’t the one to kill King Tenebris tbh.

This book series is full of unexpected twists and turns that kept me engaged from start to finish. I loved Layala's growth as she discovered her hidden power, and Thane's viewpoint chapters were a great addition. J.M. Kearls' writing is superb, with a fast pace that never leaves out important details. I found myself invested in the characters and feeling anxious for them as the plot unfolded. Book one had a romantic focus, while book two was more of an adventure with romantic elements. As for the audiobook, I thoroughly enjoyed the narrations by Bridget Bordeaux and Jake Bordeaux. They did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and keeping the story flowing smoothly. Their voices were easy to listen to, and they captured the emotional depth of the story perfectly. Overall, I highly recommend both the book series and the audiobook narrations.
