I have a new favorite L.J. Andrews book, again. I thought The Ever Queen was the peak of The Ever Seas with feral Livia, and I was just mistaken. It is now a close second. I don't know how I am going to survive the next 16 months until The Stolen Crown. While TMT has a lot of the same tropes as TEK it just does it at a deeper level. I think I was getting whiplash every time I thought we we're at our promised HEA only for my heart to ride another roller coaster. I lost many hours of sleep because I just wanted to know what would happen next and who would dare try to come between these two. If you are reading this and have not read TEK and TEQ I definitely recommend both before TMT for ultimate understanding, but if not definitely read after.
This story is the definition of from different worlds. It's beautiful to see Skadi grow so much during this book. Her character was one of my favorite in TEQ. Sometimes I wanted to reach into the book and shake some sense into her, but the more you learn about her life, the more you understand why she is the way she is. L.J. Andrews continues to give her characters the most fitting pet names for each other and I know that some people don't like them, but I don't care I love them. Please don't stop. It's such a strong showing of affection between two people. As always, all the side characters just add so much to this story and the world-building is top notch. Anyone else's favorite kingdom The Eastern Kingdom? Also the art included is just an additional star all on its own. I had to keep opening them on my phone to take in the beauty in full color.
