Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow
5.0
I absolutely adored this book.
I am a sucker for interesting magic systems and slow burn romances and this book had both in spades.
Larkyra is one of 3 sisters gifted with amazing magics that work in harmony with one another to please or maim their intended audience. By day they are princesses of Jabari, doted on by their father, and by night they are the great Mousai, feared and loved by those of the Thief Kingdom. They find themselves entangled in the destiny of Lachlan, lorded over by the putrid Duke Hayzar and his handsome, but troubled, step-son Darius.
This was a very enjoyable book that made me laugh, and brought me close to tears more than once. The characters are loveable and well fleshed out, and the writing was just perfect. The chemistry and tension between Darius and Larkyra had me almost shouting at the book, willing them to just kiss one another already (which doesn't happen until past the 80% mark!).
A very surprising read, as I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I wasn't disappointed. An excellent way to finish a varied month of reading.
