Love is Power!

I loved this book, it never once bored me. Dianna and Samkiel once again are goals. This was their book. The love they have for each other is one of the best I have ever read in fantasy. (Better than Rowan and Aelin)

The side characters and side romances were just as good. I usually hate multiple POV's but every other character POV added something to the story. I'm rooting for the other couples despite all the odds. Also the pacing was perfection. Every time I thought a long scene/chapter was going to bore me the author just skipped right to the good part.

Ending was insane! I did not expect that at all! Very unpredictable. The only issue I have with this book is I think the world building is just too large. What even is a realm in this context? A collection of planets? Not once did I understand where the characters where located?

This book truly came alive through the little snippets we got of the side characters - the romance, the drama, the backstories, and the moral greyness… ugh, I loved every single one of them. I can’t wait for the fourth book in the series!
