5.0

Breathtakingly plot twisty and brimming with even more tension than the last, Thea Guanzon has quickly become as one of my all time favourite authors. 

With even more romantic action between Alaric and Talasyn, (whose scenes are deliciously decadent and full of emotion) I all but devoured this! 

The writing is once gain beautifully detailed and vivid. And the twists?! I’m still reeling from that explosively intense (and action packed) ending and honestly, I would do just about anything right now to get my hands on book three. 

Oh, and did I mention? there’s also dragons. Sleepy ones, overprotective ones and a really REALLY scary one —but I loved every scene they appeared in, and look forward to (hopefully) seeing more of them in the rest of the series. 

I just cannot recommend this series enough! So if (like me), you’re partial to an intensely swoon-worthy epic fantasy, the enemies to lovers trope. Or enjoy exploring complex and multilayered characters, then you should definitely consider checking this series out— it’s MARVELLOUS!
