Throne of Air and Darkness by Emberly Ash

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3 out of 5 stars.

I keep dragging my feet when it comes to reading this second book and it’s definitely due to personal reasons than the book’s fault. I mean, I still have the same thoughts as my previous review from what I was able to get through- love and smut kind comes first. There’s a bit of a new revelation coming to light from the first book which may prove to be interesting? I just am more of the fantasy/storyline kind of reader so I wore myself out trying to get through the sprinkled smut that I personally started to find a bit awkwardly placed/done.

I’m leaving this at three stars since I *did* soft drop it, but I didn’t do so because I hated it. I’m just taking way too long to finish it and I’m a mood reader, so I don’t know when I’ll want to pick it up again and I don’t want to hold back on a review until then. I do see myself going back to finish it though! The story is fairly interesting and I do want to know where it’ll go!
