Reading this book was TORTURE. So so sad and frustrating the whole way through!!! These characters better get some sort of happiness in the third book Sarah, or I will RIOT!
Summary: Orlaith journeys to Bahari in preparation for her coupling with Cainon. Cainon is so obviously manipulating Orlaith and dangles the promise of the ships in her face the whole book. Also he is hello creepy about her "virtue" and whether she will "bleed for him" 🤮🤮 and I hate it.
What I hate more is Orlaith constantly making the WORST decisions on impulse. I get that she is naive/sheltered and pissed at Rhordyn so her dumb decisions make sense in that context but.... it's SO fucking painful to read. Girl is MESSY in this book.
Rhordyn naturally follows Orlaith to Bahari and is watching over her while trying to secure the ships for his people. We get a lot more of his perspective and honestly, he is perfect and I love him. 😠I just whish Orlaith would get her head out of her ass and see that she holds his "cold, cripples heart in the palm of her hand".
TLDR; Sarah seems to enjoy making her readers suffer... yet I will keep reading this series in the hopes of a HEA.
