I also didn't like the romantic relationship or even the MC tbh. The only thing I enjoyed was the discussion of loneliness and not asking for help, otherwise this was quite disappointing, but especially since I enjoyed neelo's story a lot

This second-chance romantasy picks up with Carys competing for the Eastern Court crown when who should show up but her ex (and Fated) Sy. Meanwhile, the threat of Adisa's plot looms overhead.
I loved the journey Carys goes on, especially the attention drawn to mental health (depression) and possibly endometriosis (fantasy style). The conclusion to this fantastic series lives up to every other book in the series. My only qualm is that some details don't match up with the prequel novella. Even so, I loved the story.
Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
