It was a fast read and felt like a side character adventure but it was fun. It did get predictable and boring at times but it was still enjoyable. They really played on the chemistry between the two and cleared the air on most of their miscommunication errors which was nice. 90% full of our favourite tropes btw. There are so many moments that it felt almost too much but it works fine.
There is no magic in this book- at all. Which I found interesting but they didn’t do a lot with building the surrounding city’s much more than the general animosity towards the “Magic Onlys Party” city. They did play into a more physical defence tactic due to not having anyone for Kai to mimic and where he falls short she exceeds and how they “work” together was fun.
Much like the first one where it’s not too serious of a read that’s more of a fun time full of tropes.
It felt very slow until 60% when things start to pick up AND THAT ENDING ?? I DIDNT THINK THEY WOULD DO THAT TO US ???
I’m sat for the third one now.

read the whole thing in a day
thoughts while reading 🗡️✨
"Promise me you'll stay alive long enough to stab me in the back?"
I could make good on that promise.
He's coming for me.
And I won't hesitate again.
It's dangerous, how much I think of her.
How much everything reminds me of her.
I should follow her. I should follow her and take her by surprise I should be smart about this. Every bit of training screams at me to handle this delicately, deliberately.
But where's the fun in that?
I'll handle her as delicately as she did my father.
If she is Shadow, then I am Flame.
This girl is the very thing I can't seem to escape - can't seem to go anywhere without the remnants of her following. Where I am, she is.
Whether it's in the flesh or in the fragments of my mind.
And where there is a flame, there is always a shadow.
She is my inevitable.
'You promised to be my undoing. So, prove it. Prove it. Hate me enough to make me want you. Ruin me.’
'I'd watch your tongue, Prince. Unless you'd like to swallow it.'
'Oh, but you are my undoing. My deliverance. My downfall disguised as a deity. You are my ruin.’
This will be the rest of my life. Forced to love her from a distance.
Mourn the loss of her each day.
She is the torture I may not survive.
She is my undoing.
She was supposed to be my forever.
But the beast doesn't get the beauty.
