WOW! I was so gripped by this book, and the characters journeys — I couldn’t put this down for a second.
Amylia’s journey is harrowing, and heartfelt and her Gryffon and Cecily? Omg perfection. I loved every single interaction these characters had. It was also so refreshing for a male main character to just be… good? No hidden agenda, no morally grey attitude, Gryffon is just a green flag of a man (so is Rogue). There is some killer feminine rage action in this book, and I ATE IT UP 🫡. THE FOUND FAMILY IN THIS IS ELITE 🥹.
The magic system, and world building, is flawless and I could see everything so clearly. I loved all of the unique animals/creatures we met, and the character’s interactions with them and the role the animals played in the story!
This did definitely get dark, so please check your TW but I found that nothing was there for shock value, and was handled with extreme care which made me feel very safe whilst reading.
If you are chasing a DARK fantasy romance, with great queer rep, snarky characters and feminine rage please check out Heliacle Rising
