🔩 "PRINCESS." Abruptly, he bowed. "IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR. WERE THINGS DIFFERENT, I WOULD GLADLY SERVE YOU UNTIL THE END OF TIME." 🔩

🔩 This book was a great follow-up from The Iron King and I had so many feelings😌 let’s start with it’s one mayor flaw that kept me scratching my head🤔 Meghan and Ash’s love 💕 What does she really know about him, besides that he's gorgeous and 'icy'? (which are great in a book boyfriend but…) But she still is obsessed with him? 😑 A character with a notable absence of was Puck, and when he finally made his grand entrance as his raven on page 115, I breathed a sigh of relief 😄 And when Puck and Meghan FINALLY kissed, it was so sweet and wasnt awkward! ☺️ However I am frustrated with Meghan, for romantically turning to Puck after being turned down by Ash 😒 As for the rest of the storyline and characters, I loved more time with Queen Mab and her sons (creepy) in the Winter Court, the addition of Leanansidhe, Virus the secondary bad-guy, and the new locations of adventure 😍 I do remain impressed with Kagawa’s flair for economical yet highly-detailed descriptions of settings and action 🤩
