He said: “I would take your heart between my ribs and guard it like my own. Is there any way I could make you believe it?”
This was a lyrical, heartbreaking, triumphant conclusion to The Last Binding trilogy.
Jack and Alan’s story was one of trauma, healing, love, and family, and I loved every single word. The historical accuracy was stunning, the romance both sexy and deeply moving, and the prose raw and evocative. Marske’s unique magic system is once again skilfully expanded and brilliantly realised, while her vibrant characters continue to captivate the reader.
There is little else to say other than that this trilogy is breathtaking, and Marske has established herself as a powerful new voice within the Historical and Fantasy genres. This is a book (and a trilogy) that I will read over and over again.
