amandaboyle 's review for:
The Throne of Honor and Blood
by J. Bree
While I give this book credit as being much more of an enemy to lovers series, I do think this story lacked some action on that front. I struggle if we would want to see him "begging" or if that would have also gotten annoying. Either way I wish there was a bit more of Soren showing versus being a possessive jerk and eventually winning her over by comforting her.
I had a hard time with a rating because there was a bit of repetitiveness in the language(let's limit the use of "Fates-blessed mate" to once a paragraph), the editing was sub par and pacing that took me out of the book quite a bit. It gets a four star because Rooke is all of the best badass parts of Aelin (my favorite heroine) but with a level of compassion and selflessness that is unmatched. Normally when you find tough heroines they also come with an attitude, but Rooke is the opposite.
The constant unveilings got to be a little much at times to the point where I was getting confused. I still don't understand who the High Commander is -- or if I should know? I have to admit, I was not surprised at the cliffhanger as I had already figured something similar was in Rooke's future (though I have some theories on it as well). I know some people wanted more of a showstopper for the end, but I don't mind these non-suspenseful cliffhangers.
