Ok yall- this was a release I was reallllly looking forward to and I was a wee bit nervous because sometimes I hype myself up too much for books. 

THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF!

This book hit all of the marks. One of my favorite things about Long Live was the character development and Forever Reign continued to build on that. This book was very character driven to me, but the plot wasn’t lacking at all! 

There were certain characters I wasn’t sure I could forgive, but the redemption arc WAS THERE! Other characters I fell even more in love with. Anddd other characters were still wonderfully awful and villainous. 

It’s not often that I would describe a fantasy book as sweet, but that’s what this book is! It’s just so sweet, and warm, and wonderful. 

What to expect:

-character driven story

-elemental magic

-light fantasy

-political intrigue

-amazing cast of characters

-multi POV

Also, I don’t always love to compare books, but if you liked the Divine Rivals duology this is definitely a duology you want to jump on! Very similar vibes (but different story lines).
