♡ Thank you to @sagapressbooks for the galley.
If you liked The North Wind, pick this one up: the love story of the third immortal brother, Notus, and Princess Sarai of Ammara.
This is a fast read with some light political maneuvering, an arranged marriage to join empires, a dysfunctional family, and a second chance romance.
I loved the desert setting which felt influenced by Arabian Nights! Blustery sand dunes, dry heat oasis under setting suns, and spice markets. This gave the book unique flavor distinct from the Norse winter setting of the North Wind, or the abbey of the West Wind.
I wasn’t a big fan of the labyrinth, which included an oddly timed steamy scene, but I did appreciate the use of music for healing. If you don’t like a plot reliant on keeping secrets from each other, you may get frustrated.
However, sometimes one needs a straightforward and predictable plot, a villain we love to hate, and a HEA. These you will find here. It was also really fun to have Wren and Boreas make a cameo!
Trigger warnings for suicide‼️
