Loved this book! Just the right amount of questions that actually (eventually) get answered. Just the right amount of tension that actually gets released! No notes

Fantasy Romance at it's best

I don’t know why I put this book series off for so long. I loved this book.

For me the MMC is giving Lorcan vibes and the FMC is Aelin.

She is strong, smart, determined and feisty!
He is grumpy and intense.

The tension is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spice: 🌶️.5

So far I’d say it’s a great and enjoyable Romatasy read. In that I’m not stressed or bored. So far most of it isn’t “ground breaking” in terms that you probably will guess parts of the plot etc but not in a bad way. I’m thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.

The voice actor performances are also great.

The perfect enjoyable romantasy read
