Firstly, I am so thankful to Netgalley and Forever Grand Central Publishing for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts. 
 
I was so excited to get a copy of this book, I had recently read the first two books in this series and I really enjoyed them, so when I saw this book available on Netgalley, I dove for it. 

I did really enjoy watching our characters finalize the dance of tension that has been hovering between them since the start of the series. The hovering feelings of need, desire, Chemistry and lust between Lor and Nadir exploded into one of the most amazing crescendos. Their relationship and character development just kept growing and I loved their arcs. 

I did enjoy the additional POV’s and glimpses from the past that gives you better understanding of the history of the world. I think that the previous books failed at giving decent world building but that’s made up for in some ways with this installment into the series. Getting out of the two Kingdoms that we’ve been stuck in and being able to explore Ouranos was one of the best parts of this book. 

I will say that the cliffhanger was a bit... frustrating. We are introduced to information that counteracts what we have been given previously and it feels a little like a cop out. It just feels like it was given just as shock factor and not really as part of the characters that we have come to know and love. Granted, the person who delivered the information is a known liar so its most likely just a ploy, but I didn’t like the way that it was introduced. 

Overall, this was a good continuation of the series and I will be reading book four as soon as it comes out
