Eines der besten Buch Enden, die ich je gelesen/gehört hab!
Die mutige Kiva hat als Gefängnisheilerin von Zalindov alle Hände voll zu tun. Auch im Gefängnis wird es nie langweilig: mysteriöse neue Gefangene, harte Prüfungen und natürlich ihre Patienten, mit teilweise mysteriösen Krankheiten...
Die Sprecherin des Hörbuches passte sehr gut zum Charakter der Hauptfigur und war generell sehr angenehm zu hören.
Ohne Spoilern zu wollen, hat mich das Ende einfach nur geflasht! Ich hab es absolut nicht vorhergesehen und war total schockiert! Ich bin sehr froh, das der nächste Teil der Reihe bereits erschienen ist und damit hoffentlich auch bald übersetzt wird. Ich kann es kaum erwarten!

Die gesellschaftlichen Intrigen von Jane Austens "Emma" treffen auf Drama wie aus "Bridgerton"!
Während die Junge Hauptfigur Emma versucht, sowohl als Gesellschafterin auf dem Land, also auch als Theaterauthorin in London erfolgreich zu sein, verfolgt der Leser diesen turbulenten Abschnitt in ihrem Leben und fiebert mit der liebenswerten Emma mit, das ihre Träume wahr werden und sie die gesellschaftlichen, wie auch persönlichen Hürden, die ihr dabei in den Weg gestellt werden, meistert.
Eine spannende Geschichte, bei der die Handlung nicht im geringsten vorhersehbar ist und sich selbst fast wie ein Theaterstück ließt.

I LOVE a good LGBTQ+ rep!
I smiled the whole time while reading this <3
They both are just the sweetest and soo respectfull too one another. The queere representation is just so positive and the families are so caring.. I may have shed a tear while reading the scene with his mother :D (iykyk)
I didnt rate the first one that high because there isnt that much time too get to know the characters but now I am the biggest fangirl <3 SO excited to read the next one!! Highly recommend!

Enemies to lovers just never disappoints!
I am obsessed with fantasy that includes witches lately and Serpent & Dove surely did deliver.
I love the marriage out of convenience/ forced marriage trope because it mostly leads to close proximity and only one bed!
Many of my favorite tropes were present and so I already loved the book for that!
Regarding to the plot it was always keep exciting and mysterious and imo not predictable! That is one of my main icks with books but with this one I did not predict the ending the least!
Reid and Lou have a great chemistry from the beginning throughout their highs and lows.
I am really excited to read the next book :)
I highly recommend reading this if you like the same tropes as me!

Spoiler free!
I loved every second of this book!!
First of all, I really liked that the autor/the publisher included a page for content warnings/triggers. IMO every book should have that!
Also I really enjoyed the diverse characters instead of the usual petite brunette and dark haired jacked up guy (still love these books too obvi) and the chronic illess rep.
I absolutely adored there bickering, it was hilarious! In general they had great chemistry and when it comes to plot, It was actually not the least predictable! That´s realy rare imo, especially in romance novels.
All in all it was an absolute joy reading this and I highly recommend it to everyone! Can´t wait to read the rest of the series!!

What was this ending??????! Omg. This was so good 😮💨 honestly the only thing bad about this book was that it took like 50-70 pages to really get going (which is really long for a 350 page book imo) but damn did it deliver. There wasn’t one point were I could have predicted what would happen next.
I need the next one immediately.
I need more of Wrath in the next book oh boy. I do love him 😌 okay going to buy kindom of the cursed now byyyeee 😂

I loved it!! From the pirates, too the sirens and the worldbuilding, I loved every second 😍 Lira and Elain are both *chefs kiss* especially their dialogue.
I loved the treasure hunting/pirates/sirens plot. The only thing why it’s not a 5 star read to me is, because the plot was very predictable. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
