WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!! 


This book felt like a really informative filler book in which we get a very in-depth understanding of who Slade is exactly and finally see his kingdom and what he looks like as a King. 

We also now explore the repercussions of Aurens actions from Book 3, something which she has such a hard time coming to terms with, not only internally, but externally as well. 

This series really explores the downfalls of being a beautiful woman- of not having the power to stand up for yourself and when you attempt to not only do men put you down but OTHER WOMEN. The internalized misogyny explored here is fascinating. 

I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster the entire book because although we switch POVs, everything is quite charged as Auren decides what kind of woman she is going to be now that she’s free. 

I was excited to also see the unfolding of the politics surrounding this entire world and the cliffhanger left me SHOOK-  I’m already dashing to the next book right now! 

I gave this four stars because there were a few sections of the book in which there was repetitive language that I don’t think was necessary and kind of added to the length of the book without the substance. 

Excited for the next one this is such a great series!
