Fated Throne by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham

4.0

This one was hard to read, but I’m so invested in the complex story, the beautiful fantasy world (Solaria), and the incredibly complicated characters that I never wanted to stop reading the series. I just had to stop and put this one down a few times to really digest the plot twists and road bumps. It was heavy, and often felt pretty hopeless. Almost predictably hopeless, but once I just gave into the angst I still was able to enjoy the ride. The “Spares” were a fun addition to the main characters - and I see potential for more spin offs. Xavier has been a favorite since we met him and I definitely can’t wait for him to get with Sofia, but some of the Pegasus kinkiness was too cringe. (But hey, to each their own). Darius and Caleb are my favorite Heirs. Lance and Darcy were consistently frustrating in this installment. Slightly too much self-pity and “forever-ism”. Max and Seth had great character development; we love to see Geraldine being a badass queen. Next one should be even heavier, might need to take a break before I dive right in. Especially knowing that book 8 isn’t out until December. (The ToryxDarius defy the stars moment 🤩🥵) (Also, all the threesome moments 👀 I’m not mad) (Caleb and Seth need to make out already gawd.)
