mystifiedpear 's review for:

Of Blood and Aether by Harper Hawthorne
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

This book will be living rent free in my head  until the next book comes out 😭. Once I started listening I could not stop. I loved the world, the magic system and the characters. Arken, the FMC, is a rare conduit of light....and more. Spymaster Kieran, a wielder of shadows can't seem to stay away from Arken. They are both drawn to eachother, becoming friends....even though the romantic tension is clearly overwhelming. Arken has one big secret that she can tell absolutely no one. Kieran also has plenty of secrets. The end of this book destroyed me, hardcore emotional damage, I was balling. So, if you like romantasy with a generous side of emotional damage, read this book!! I cannot recommend it enough!
