That was delightful! So glad I picked this series up. Pyre was, indeed, everything I wanted from his character. Tempest was harder for me to love but that's only because I could see how her choices were going to work out even if she couldn't. Excited to see new characters added and the promise of more books to come!

I feel so stupid that I didn’t catch it was a Snow White retelling. The seven “dwarves”, the apple, the coma.

running thoughts I had during this book:

It’s always hard introducing a new POV in a book series. You grow attached to the older characters and are quick to dismiss the new ones. Starting the book on a new character made me put it down half a dozen times.

Brine keeps calling her “pup”. I swear if he dies I’ll lose it.

“Being born a woman was the bane of her existence.” Thorn is a big mood.

The slow burn was worth it for this exact moment.
““Sleep, love. I’ll be here when you wake.” His fingers skimmed her cheek. She clutched at his hand. “Don’t let me fade away.” “Never,” he whispered fiercely.”

I just love Tempest & Pyre

I think my heart is about to explode from my chest! This book was full of action and heart pounding moments but that ending was EVERYTHING!!! Tempest and Pyre have just exploded off the page from the beginning and in this book their secrets are no more and their relationship is one match away from exploding. But for every watery eye there are moments where my face hurt from all the smiling.

As always Frost Kay delivers with an amazing, well written story and characters that you become invested in. You get immersed into the world she builds and you just don't want to leave. I cannot wait to see what comes next!

The series started strong with a lot of potential but fell flat.

+Tempest. Tempest is a strong female lead who unfortunately was written to be somewhat more boring in this last book.

-Pyre's and Tempest's relationship. The enemies to lovers trope started well but was poorly executed. All the banter fell away and all we were left with was stagnant conversations between then and Pyre being very very annoying.
-Pyre. I liked Pyre as a character but once the whole mate thing started in the second book it was all downhill. Every POV chapter was him being irritatingly alpha about people touching and looking at Tempest. It was recycled in every chapter as well.
