Spice: 2.5
A wholesome vibe in a dark and lonely setting.
Keywords | Tropes: Romance - Dark Fantasy - Demons/Angels - Soft spice - Enemies to Lovers -Forbidden Love - Sexual awakening - First love - Obsessive MMC - Innocent FMC
Dedication: To all the girls who see beyond the darkness to find the light within.
This is so beautiful.
I really enjoyed this one. It is the prequel from The River of Fire and I loved we got to see a bit more of its background. What I liked even more is this beautiful story of Neph (his full name is too difficult to remember haha ), being a powerful lonely demon, always fighting in the war against the angels, not finding pleasure in anything else untill... He meets Syrin on the battlefield.
He goes through a journey full of new emotions (and lets say a bit of an obsession), finding new pleasure in life and it totally gives you the most wholesome relationship.
Fav quotes:
"You will catch me?" - "Every single time."
"If it is your desire, I will rip the cottage from the ground and carry it to the cliff edge above us."
Neph and Syrin are like cute little babies meeting love for the first time, aka each other. It was perfect.
I like how the lust and spice is still woven into this story just like the other books but on a softer level, making their interactions and first acts beautiful. Thats why the story gives innocent and pure vibes due to the passionate and careful spice.
I might like this one the most because (yes I keep repeating myself) it is so wholesome and makes me feel all warm and happy (eventho it's not a perfect situation).
Thank you Liana for this wonderful read!
