Lady of Doom and Devotion by Eva Chase

4.0

A highly satisfying and cathartic ending to a well-paced and well-written series.

This book very much felt like a final book.  All the questions had satisfying answers, the plot points all wrapped up well, and we left this series feeling that these characters would all live happily ever after.  There was a lot of political intrigue in this book, more than in the previous books.  But with all of it, it left me feeling that this country and these people would thrive in the future.  

The romance took a back seat in this book, yet the connections between all the group members only became stronger.  I especially enjoyed seeing all the interactions between the men and got to see the deep trust and support between them.

This will be a series that I will highly recommend to experienced and new fantasy romance readers.  Especially for readers new to the genre, this series has everything they need to ease them into it - a well-detailed and understandable magic system, descriptive world-building without being info-dumps, characters that make understandable decisions and have relatable traits, and just enough *spice* to keep you excited about the budding romance.  This would also be an excellent series for those interested in reading a why-choose romance for the first time.  The romance is certainly prevalent, but it isn't the sole focus of this series.  It doesn't feel taboo whatsoever.

Thank you to BookSirens and Eva Chase for a digital advanced reader copy.  All opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
