WARRIOR PRINCESS ASSASSIN! WHAT A BOOK! i haven’t been captivated and unable to put down a book like i was with this one in so long and wow it’s good to be back. this was more than i could have ever expected and i (perhaps surprisingly in some ways) loved every. single. minute. 

i came to adore all three primary characters. ky, jory, and asher are all so interesting. the famed warrior king, the brutal assassin, and the innocent princess. all true descriptors that also fail to encompass the magnitude of these characters. they are so much more than their labels. they have depth and trauma and love and quirks and i so enjoyed getting each of their points of view. 

the slow burn is so well done. i haven’t read many books that fall under the why choose/threeway category but i was rooting for all of them to be with each other and actually really enjoyed seeing how different sides of them came out with each other. each character bloomed throughout the book and their love brought out the best (and wildest!) in each other 

as a certified lover of banter, i was kicking my feet and giggling. ky, jory, and asher each gave and got and i was dying. they went from aggressive to seductive to serious in five seconds and i thank brigit for the whiplash. please do it again!

the political element was also so intriguing!! the alliance was the central element bringing our characters together and it plays a core role throughout. readers are left wondering all book who is behind the assassination requests and what the political play is. there is so much betrayal and double crossing and character growth and power moves. 

i didn’t want to put this down - i was captivated from the start. the characters and plot were both so well written and absolutely addicting to follow. i could not get enough of this and cannot wait for book two!!!!
