As a big fan of J Bree's Broken Bonds series, I just had to pick up her romantasy series between a witch and a high fae prince.
Whilst the first book "The Crown of Oaths and Curses" was a slow start and (at times) difficult to get into, especially to understand the world and different witches covens. I absolutely loved the chemistry and relationship between Rooke and Soren.
A very slooooow burn.
And the ending where Rooke takes on the raving witches alone, absolute *chefs kiss* 💋.
I was super eager to pick this book up and it didn't disappoint, especially when we finally got Rooke and Soren alone.
However, I did find I was left a bit disappointed by the amount of grammar and spelling mistakes throughout my kindle copy. It really took me out of the story.
Also, I think the author got a bit confused between Gideon and Gade's wife Rhosh. She was both their wife at one point. 😬
And lastly, she would write mostly in first person in POV chapters for Rooke and Soren but then it's like she forgot who she was writing as and it majorly confused me...🤷🏼♀️
Not to mention I felt like I was missing sections of the story? Maybe I wasn't putting it together as easily as I should've been, but at the end *spoilers ahead*....
- The Blood witches were actually her dad's coven? So, where does Baylor come into this? Why would he turn against his coven? Unless they are a different coven?
- Pemba is dead?!?! Excuse me?!?! I honestly feel freaking gaslit over that news, she spoke of him as though he was alive the entire time, same as his wife, Cerson. Not cool.
Overall, I absolutely love this series and definitely cannot wait for the third book to continue Rooke and Soren's story. 👏🏼
