Shadow Princess by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti
4.0
Spice: 2.5/5
Plot: 4.5/5
Spoiler Warning! Cuz duh. But if you haven’t read this series, consider this your sign to start. Now go away lol.
Alright book four… This is the one that a ton of people warned me about and were anxiously awaiting my reactions to lol. I have to say, it did not disappoint. I did actually call what was gunna happen right from the first book - there was some serious foreshadowing and it was really obvious where it was gunna lead - BUT, the way the twisted sisters went about it was so fucking good. I didn’t expect it to happen so early on in the series so now I’m super curious where we go from here and how everything’s gunna play out. I mean seriously though, the heartbreak and pain that I felt coming from Darius, it was palpable. My heart was in a vice for him that entire time cuz I knew what was coming and it just wrenched me open. I’m fully team Darius, Tory might be dead to me now lol. The way that they’ve shaped her arc is making me wanna cut a bitch, but they’re doing it so well and it makes so much sense for her. I still don’t fucking like it, or her at the moment, but it makes sense lol.
Orion and Darcy… I don’t think he’s dead, that would be too easy lol. I don’t know where it goes from here exactly but they’ve got too much shit to figure out for him to just be out of the plot lol.
Now for my rapid fire thoughts…
- Max and Geraldine, that might be the funniest shit I’ve read in a long time. Talk about the perfect comedic relief.
- Lady Petunia… holy fuck lmao.
- I adore Xander and I really want a damn Pegasus for a friend lol. He calls himself Glitterdragon and I need that on a shirt now lol.
- I fucking hate Seth. Just when I was starting to like him, he pulls that shit? Dude, go fuck a bucket of nails. And he turns her into a rabbit?! wtf lol.
- Caleb, you poor bastard lol. How can you be so dumb?
- I have no idea where these two are gunna go as characters or what roll they play with the girls long term and I’m super curious about it. Especially after their little hunt and Caleb was reminiscing about their kiss… I could totally be down with that happening.
- Darius is everything and that throne scene might actually beat the Iron Flame throne scene. I’ll do a re read of that one and compare notes
