I don’t think I’ve placed a hold on a book’s sequel as fast as I did for this one. Keera’s journey in this book was heartbreaking to follow and the ENDING!! I genuinely didn’t expect the book to end the way it did. There is romance and lately, I’ve found romantasy to be too formulaic but Blair writes the romance between characters as secondary to everything that’s happening. It’s not their focus and their personalities don’t become their partners.
