This was my first romantasy and at first, I wasn't sure how I felt because I’m used to epic fantasy. Once I realized that I was able shift my mindset. I really enjoyed the characters. I feel confident I could write out each character and their traits and potential actions/ motives. The political intrigue and plot were interesting. The relationship formed nicely with lust coming before love. Speaking of lust there is a lot of spice which I don’t mind. I felt that it didn’t take away from the story and I appreciated that each scene was different to prevent repetitiveness and boredom. Cerberus is my favorite. My only qualm was with the ending. I did not appreciate having to follow the least likable character when my girls were hurt and shattered. It felt almost like it should have been worked into the second book. It was interesting yes; I just wanted a different ending. All in all, I will be continuing the series. Idk how deep I’ll go into this sub-genre, but it makes for a great palate cleanser.
