I am devastated this is the end as I have loved these characters so much, but it was a perfect ending for this duology! 
Annika's sass and wit makes a stunning return and although she's in enemy hands she won't sit quietly waiting to be rescued. She is fierce, powerful and a force of nature with unique powers. 
I adored seeing Ari and Orm grow closer and embrace their bond, they are utterly petrified of losing Ani, but together they will burn the world to get their woman home, and protect each other along the way. 

The writing is vivid, fast paced, and helps you easily paint a picture of the devastation, chaos, victories and challenges they all face. Not only are they up against the deadly Lich King and his minions, but tackling Fae mind games, monster attacks, betrayals, and dangerous quests and bargains.
Every moment feels important and relevant to events unfolding, the characters face grief, uncertainty, guilt and doubts, and the acceptance of their bond together was beautiful.

I loved the unexpected drama, jealousy and competition to woo Ani, all the spice and charming declarations of love, the lore and range of mythical creatures, and how protective everyone is of each other.
And what I wouldn't give to have a loyal dragon like Vahin.
Definitely a must read fantasy duology!
