The Ever King is one of my favourite reads I’ve read so far this year. Erik is the morally grey unapologetic pirate fae king who can be loyal but at the same time vicious, Livia is the daughter of his enemies a earth fae who grew up fierce and yet has compassion and surrounded by a loving family and friends. 

I was instantly pulled into the story between Erik and Livia, their connection in childhood when a songbird befriended a serpent to their reunion as adults and how slowly the relationship changes between them. I loved the banter but at the same time I was living for the tender moments between them. To see into Erik’s past and his traumatic upbringing was heartbreaking and gave a clear understanding why he is now as ruthless as can be and I loved how he slowly changed from the broken man and become soft and loyal to Livia and how she gave him some lightness in a rather brutal world. 

The writing pulls you in instantly the world building is exceptional and easy to understand, 
I love the unique magic of the fae and sirens and how it is portrayed. The pacing is just right and the romance is beautiful and everything I’ve come to love from this author. I can’t wait to read The Ever Queen and see what’s to come after the ending we are given with The Ever King. 

While The Ever King has connections to The Broken Kingdom series and to get the full experience of this world I would recommend reading it first, it is not necessary before starting this.
