I fell in love with Okrith with High Mountain Court and continued to fall in love in different ways as our characters split and journeyed in their own stories. At last, we come to Carys, who is trying to manage a court that was never hers but that she's fighting for, while a hellbent witch and her army is looking to take over the world. And just to complicate things, her ex (and mate) comes strolling back into her life, looking to take the crown from her.

We join Carys and Ersan as they battle NOT to rekindle their love and through the trials of a tournament and a war. What I think this book does great is make Carys a great representation of disabled bodies as she deals with PMDD/GAD/depression and endometriosis/PCOS while being a total badass who not only shows how she manages her chronic illnesses in a practical/relatable manner but does it all while being a leader everyone is looking to for answers and getting shit done.

I think the pacing of managing a tournament, war, and a romance redemption was tough. Packing that all into 350 pages was a little unrealistic and it makes the war portion of the book seem fairly anticlimactic. However, the tournament and romance story pace is strong and allows this title to be 4 stars for me.

I received an ARC ebook version of this title from Netgalley and am never compensated for my reviews.
