This is a beautiful and poignant ending to the Shadowborn duology. Asar absolutely worships Mische and while I adored that intensity, I’ll admit it sometimes wore on me because he literally keeps tearing the world apart for her.
The story itself is rich and immersive, with fantasy world-building that pulled me in from the start. At times it did feel a little repetitive, but the payoff at the end was so powerful and moving that it easily made up for it.
💯 Recommend if you love romantasy with a strong emphasis on the fantasy side.
