A Burning Throne by J.D. Ronan

5.0

Kindly....what the fuck?

Ronan knows how to keep a reader on the edge of their seat and if you're like me, screaming at the ending and wondering where the rest of the story is. She is a phenomenal writer and if you haven't give The Fate of Vengeance a chance then you are missing out.

A Burning Throne dives more into both Sabine and Keahi's secrets, lies, and past all while they try to navigate their marriage and rule of the kingdom.

I truly don't know how to write this review because my mind is still spiraling. This story is so intricately woven, full of lush prose, and twists that will keep a firm hold of your throat the entire time. Let me briefly mention that the spice was hot. It's not full blown smut, so simmer down. But the tension, the way she edged not just Keahi and Sabine but ME while she teased us with this slow burn romance is still killing me. If these two do not get together soon I am going to combust. That being said, the moments between them were incredibly satisfying.

Keahi and Sabine are intricate characters that I adore equally. I love the power Sabine wields within herself and over Keahi and how eager he is to please her while at the same time finding his freedom and who he is without the rule of his father. In A Burning Throne we deep dive more into what both characters have suffered and how they navigate their trauma individually.

(Spoiler but that part with Shiloh gutted me. IYKYK.)

I was trying to figure out who the traitor was the entire time and out of all my guesses I was still wrong. And yet it was so incredibly sweet (bitter but...) because it made perfect sense.

I'll need to come back at a later date when my thoughts and emotions have settled and I'm not just rambling.

This book is incredibly. Ronan is an auto buy author and I cannot wait for book three and the rest of the stories I know she's going to thrust us into.
