Broken by K.A. Riley

5.0

Welp, I did it again. I started reading Broken and didn’t stop until it was finished. I wonder if this is a thing with just the Thrall series, or if I’ll have this wonderful problem with all of K.A. Riley’s books. I’ll have to do some experimenting. 

So, because this is a sequel and I want to stay away from spoilers, I can’t really touch on the plot a whole lot but I will say that I really like the direction the story has taken (and the one in which it seems to be headed). 

My love for the characters has only grown and new characters were a welcome addition. I especially like Valira, a member of the Royal Guard. She’s interesting and has mysterious motivations, so her interactions with Shara were fun. One character in particular has a lot more depth than I was expecting, which was pleasantly surprising, and I’m hoping there will be more on that in the third book. 

Of course, Shara and Thorne managed to spice it up a few times even though it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. And I’m happy to report that once again, I was not thinking about ladies while I read the spice. I think my biggest takeaway from the fact that these spice scenes aren’t a turn off is that I really appreciate when the woman isn’t hyper-focused on how muscular the man is. I just don’t give a shit about muscles and man do they ever like to focus on muscles in a lot of the romance-type books I’ve tried. Anyway…

Shara got some answers in Broken, even to some questions she didn’t know she had, but she also ended up with even more questions that omg had better be answered in the next book, which can’t come soon enough!  I need to know what happens next, I’m dyinggggg!
