I was so lucky to be on the NetGalley eARC team for both previous books, and I can honestly say I loved this series from the first words… how could I not adore the most epic opening line of a series I have ever read?! 

I love a glossary that gives mini character specific recaps! This was so helpful for remembering where we were with each character in the story, because there are so many sub-plots!

A fist bump? Questionable modern choice. 

Anyway! Let’s get to the review!

I was quickly drawn back into the world, magic and characters of this series. 

The world-building continued steadily with the flashbacks, giving us more glimpses into the foundation of the magic system. Every time a little more back story was given, solidifying the many questions that I had about the magic. I still am not quite sure the nature of the high fae magic. Obviously the author is taking her time in revealing it, because I can see exactly how she will get there. 

The side character arcs were immensely satisfying in this book. I love seeing that there is so much more to Gabriel, specifically.

The character growth from Lor has been great. And I’m interested to see how this gets resolved.

This is definitely a bingable series. With the structure and how things play out, I actually think reading them as they release is doing the story, especially the romance, a disservice. 

But that cliffhanger ending! Talk about upping the stakes! But I loved it!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an Advanced eReader Copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
