This series and especially the book is my favorite fantasy series so far of all time. Fallon is relatable in a way that isn't overly annoying and the chemistry between her and Lore is unmatched. The scenes in this book make Silver Flames look tame. A few times I got the ick from her use of a certain word but the storyline develops wonderfully while still maintaining the spice, romance, and relationship building. I am upset that I found this series while it was still being written because the cliffhanger has me in shambles and I don't want to wait a week to read what happens next!
