To say Zephyrus really made a name for himself in The North Wind would be an understatement, so I was really interested to see how Warwick would turn him around and create a an MMC that we would love. I really enjoyed the setting of this book, we move between what's basically a convent and Under (which is the fae realm). I loved the weird and wonderful creatures in a world like this, how different the fair folk can be! It's whimsical and I really just love it.
I enjoyed the plot in this one too, it was good to see a more humble side of Zephyrus. He came off as a really broken character in this one and I think his character growth was so well done. The journey into under was exciting, filled with twists and turns and interesting side characters. And Brielle is so determined to complete the task she is given - even if she was paired up with one of the worst girls. Harper really made me want to pull my hair out for most of this book, but again, the character development in some of these characters were so good!
I did like Zephyrus, maybe not a much as Boreas but I have no complaints about him, and the epilogue was so adorable! I am not sure if I really loved Brielle though, she started off strong and I really did enjoy the direction she was heading but then it felt like she kind of got stuck, I would have expected a stronger character with a little more resolve! I think she allowed her life in the abbey to muffle who she could have been! Other than that, I really enjoyed this story!
