Thank you so much to Berkley, PRH Audio, and Netgalley for providing advanced copies of this book! All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

This series is just such a fun time. It fits right into the current fantasy romance trend and hits all the beats you're looking for.

Keeping this spoiler free - I really enjoyed the character growth our heroine goes through after the events of book 1. She's definitely a frustrating character for much of this story, but I really appreciated the depiction of grief and responsibility. Particularly responsibility she didn't ask for.

The relationships in this definitely get messy. Which made for a more "realistic" feeling read - since I know I wouldn't be happy in this situation.

I also enjoyed where this one is heading - even though I didn't find anything surprising the story is well executed and engaging.

Overall I just think this is a really fun series. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as book 1. But I think that's just because so much of this book was internal character development.

And I'm glad this series is only 3 books long because I definitely want to know the ending asap!
