A Sweet, Bitter Poison by Jenna Glass
4.0
A Sweet, Bitter Poison is the novella within the Women's War series. In this, we get a glimpse of what really happened to a certain marriage before the first book. It was really cute to see Brynna and Aaltyn falling in love.
At first, he didn't really care that she wasn't producing a male heir. He just kept saying it wasn't their time yet and that it will eventually happen. I'm sure he was just having fun with the whole process of creating a baby.
Besides the romance, we do get some drama and talks of potential war lurking around. Then there's the vision of a divorce so that a new marriage could quiet the talks and threats of war. Of course, Aaltyn wants nothing to do with it because he actually loves his wife. Then the unthinkable happens and his hands were forced.
In the end, this was definitely eye opening and I kind of wished I read this before I dove into the first book. It also got me even more excited to jump into the sequel.
