Fury, power, and want entwined as he warred with himself. Heir. Ward. Poisoner. Off limits. But it was a force bigger than him, bigger than them both. And he was helpless against it. “Fuck it,” he muttered.
Thank GOODNESS we have a new series for Wren and Torj because Legends of Thezmarr had me in a chokehold. What blossomed in the first series fully bloomed in Iron & Embers.
I have never felt so equally frustrated and enthralled by two characters. Wilder and Thea during Legends of Thezmarr were fine, but the banter… the tension…Wren and Torj are on another level. I relished that build-up throughout the book but was a tad disappointed in the ending. However, knowing that book 2 is on the way gives me something to look forward to.
Some of the beloved comedic relief from the first series is woven into this book– Kipp and Cal– and it’s for the plot! Numerous scenes with excellent conversation and banter featured these characters, which helped the storyline flow from the first series.
Miss Helen, you knew exactly what you were doing. I wasn’t sure where you were taking me at the beginning, but consider me sat for the duration of this ride.
