The South Wind
by Alexandria Warwick
A great book with a (in my opinion) not so loveable FMC (until close to the end)
Story: 4/5
I loved the forced marriage but loving another trope. I really wish that I was more intrigued by the time it got to the parts inside the labyrinth. I found the build up to be fun but the ending to be somewhat weak. It was still a fun and overall enjoyable story!
Writing: 5/5
I HAVE to go back and read the other books in the series because I really enjoyed the author's writing style. She does a wonderful job of showing instead of just telling and the spicy scenes were also very well written.
Characters/Romance: 3/5
Notus has so much patience, I could never deal with someone like Sarai. She says hurtful things and then is upset that he takes them to heart. By the end I saw her as pretty redeemable but for 75% of the book I did not like her as a FMC.
I enjoyed the idea of the characters have a past romantic history. I think it makes relationships in books more believable and not as much "insta love", without having to build up the romance so much in a single book.
Overall I loved and would recommend this book! thank you to Netgalley (Saga Press) for allowing me to review this book as an ARC.
