*audiobook review ♾️ ⭐

Firstly Matt Haynes and Emilia Bauer do a phenomenal job of narrating this masterpiece. They both brought the characters to life and made me feel like I was a part of the story!

I love Helen Scheuerer books, especially the Legends of Thezmarr which is one of my top 5 romantasy series of all time!

This series is continuing the story with Wren and Torj. If you haven't, I really suggest reading the legends of thezmarr series first as it helps build foundations before this series.

Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Bodyguard
Forced proximity
Touch her and die
Hairpin to throat iykyk

This was alright - I fear I do like a bodyguard romance. The political/world-building def needed more explanation, cause I really didn't get what these rebels or whatever are so up in arms about.

Not sure how I feel about the ending, I might read the sequel to see how it plays out
