The King's Men by Nora Sakavic
5.0
Overall Rating: 5/5
This was a wonderful conclusion to the trilogy. There was so much going on in terms of drama, action, and relationships that I couldn't look away. It was almost as if I was continuously looking at a car crash and it just kept getting crazier.
Now is this book good? I would say so but it's definitely not for the intellectuals. But is it entertaining? HELL FUCKING YES. I couldn't get enough of it.
Neil's relationship with the team has grown so much since the start of the book and I feel like a proud mother seeing her kids finally getting along... It was so heartwarming to read about and I was so happy for him, especially when him and Andrew finally got past their trauma and could reconsider their relationship into being something more than "nothing." Their enemies to lovers relationship was so good because of the slow burn and I loved how slow Nora made it because of how traumatized the two were. They became friends and learned how to trust each other and knew not to push each other. The way CONSENT was expressed through their relationship was probably the best thing I've ever read. I could cry thinking about it because i loved it so much.
And I know that this is a bit off topic but I wanted to talk about Neil's mother in at least one of my reviews... I honestly don't know how to feel about her. I felt like she could've done a better job at raising Neil and used her connections with the mafia family in the UK. But considering she was trying so hard to keep Neil away from it I can see why she never used it. She could've been a better mom but at the end of the day she was a scared, paranoid, and cornered woman so I feel empathy towards her. I lowkey wish we got more flashbacks so I could try and understand her character more but.... oh well...
Overall this series was one of the best non-fantasy series I've ever read and I don't think I'll ever see anything like this again. I'll be keeping this series close to my heart.
