A review by kzimm2024
An Emperor for the Eclipse by Eris Adderly

4.0

This was a scorcher. Apparently Eris has many genres she writes from since I went from contemporary to Vampire fantasy to Other Worlds fantasy.

And as I struggled with the names and language (I eventually got it so its not that hard), it seemed like everyone but the 2 main characters were getting action. Warning to some: pretty intense F/F scenes (like more than 1) and the others are M/F.

I liked the world, the different people, but some things were a little vague. Like- how did we get to 2 weeks until the eclipse and then we were at 2 days? The timelines did not add up very well at the end.

Who in the world is Fish and why didn't we see much interaction with him the next day? Instead he randomly pops in.

And man, I was so disappointed to learn it was not a stand alone book. It ended well enough tying up some loose ends but I would have had Bellora come clean about the blackmail and get that little issue solved. Unless she didn't WANT too...hmmm

I think it was written in 2017? So not sure if I should hold out for the series to continue. Oh well.
