Madness of the Horde King by Zoey Draven
3.0
i desperately need to pivot away from these horde king books, but the concept is just so fun.
it’s such a far cry from the standard sci-fi/alien romance i read, but i truly eat it up.
‘madness’ was an easy read, but not as enjoyable as the previous books in the series. we get a bit more ‘magic’ and ‘fantasy’ elements, with our main character vienne’s seemingly-supernatural gift of reading emotions and projecting intentions into others’ minds, and our love interest, the ‘mad horde king’, who sees dead people.
there’s a bit more plot going on in this one, as we meet vienne on a mission to save her own life and that of her family, who are all slaves to the ghertun. a mission that, naturally, requires the help of the dakkari.
this was easy, spicy, with a bit more emotional ‘meat’, but ultimately not my favorite of the series so far.
pick this series up if you’re in the mood for some light khal drogo smut — you won’t be disappointed.
TWs/CWs: recounted sexual assault from a third party perspective, murder, enslavement, and dealing with grief/loss.
