"Kazia doesn't make plans. He makes problems."

Oh, how I waited for this book! From the moment I finished [b:Prince and Bodyguard|171831933|Prince and Bodyguard (Perilous Courts #4)|Tavia Lark|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1685730237l/171831933._SY75_.jpg|100918173], I just knew right away that the final instalment from Perilous Courts was going to be my favorite. Not only enemies to lovers and slow burn are a couple of my fave tropes (when well done), the title alone had me excited.

Prince of Agony already implied that this was going to be Kazia's story first and foremost, and that was what also had me so excited and I was right. There are so many quotes I could've started this review on, but I chose the first one I highlighted on the book and, I mean, Kazia IS a chaos gramlin that is such a good brand of male lead tbh.

Is this the best book in the series? Maybe not really? I've read the others a while back by now so I can't be sure, but this gave me the vibes and answeres I wanted, Lucien is literal sunshine and I love Kazia, who thinks he's so evil incarnate, but isn't really.

I'm going to seriously miss this series, I love when authors write diff characters and stories set in the same universe and it's even better when they continue the same story line.

The one thing... like, the age difference, right? Lucien is my age (29) and, if I understood correctly, Kazia is 18. I can't for the life of me imagine being attracted to someone that age. So suspencion of disbelief had to be a thing *shrugs*. Still a five stars read because I had FUN!!!

I really enjoyed the series as a whole, and was thrilled when the the first chapter started off extremely dark. There was so much happening in this book, and many pleasantly unexpected revelations, that I wish it was longer and paced better for more relationship development between Kazia and Lucien.

So good. EXCELLENT execution of the enemies to lovers hurt/comfort trope. I loved Lucien and loved Kazia even more. The ending couldn’t have been more fitting.

Delightful ending

I devoured each of the previous books in this series and to no one's surprise, this one as well! The world Tavia created for the Perilous Courts is highly engaging and the spice is among my favorite written. I enjoyed seeing each prince grow throughout all the books.

Kazia's story was much more on the slow burn side which I loved! The dynamic between him and Lucien was such a good enemies to lovers progression. The pacing was well done, keeping me invested to the very end. Honestly that's a big reason why I love all of her books! This installment had less spice than the previous ones but it fit with the storyline so I didn't mind.

I'm sad to see the series concluded as I've enjoyed it so much! This was a delightful ending and if m/m romantasy is your thing, you definitely need to read.
