4.0

Loved that even though there are 6 books in this series (2 published and 4 to come + two off shoot but still related (six scorched roses & slaying the vampire conquer)) it felt like a lot was resolved in this book. A common gripe I have with long series is the inevitable dragging of some plots and I feel as though Carissa Broadbent’s decision to focus on other main characters stories through the remaining books while still keeping Raihn & Oraya in the books to come just not as our narrators will be a good chance to keep the story fresh as we see the perspectives of other characters. Really excited for Mische’s book!
