I read this book for Realmathon hosted by coverswithcassidy. I bought this book when it originally came out a few months ago but I put it off because a couple of my friends had DNF'd this book. But I still wanted to give it a try since I had purchased a copy. I also decided to wait for my Library to receive an audiobook copy so my wait to read this one was longer than expected. 

Overall I thought this conclusion was fine. The beginning was a little rough because I was struggling to remember who characters were and Kane's father was giving me the ick. I thought I was going to DNF but I pushed through. 

I like Kane and Arwen and their love story and found family. I just didn't find myself invested enough durning fight scenes,
Arwen was also kidnapped and rescued twice and even then I wasn't like OMG they have to save her now...


It didn't have the high stakes feeling for me that some other fantasy romance series have had and thats ok. It is a book I read it and had a decent time. Not everything I read is going to be life changing and a new favorite....But someone else may read this series and it will be a favorite for them. Reading is subjective and thats ok!
