Returning to a fav couple

The Wraith Kings series was around on the romantasy scene before that word was even conceived and the joy of returning to an absolute favourite couple from the first two books was like coming home. Brishen and Ildiko eminate a solid and realistic coupling and seeing them face significant peril in a more settled life was both hard and gripping to read.

This is quite a hard book to review because it's so important not to share spoilers, the blurb is selective for this reason. Suffice it to say that apart, these two were strong and together, they were a force. I long to know more about their life with the young queen.

There is definitely more to unravel about the Kai loss of magic in future books and I look forward to being immersed in the fourth book at some point (soon I hope).
