2024年12月23日 在美国审核When I say this book shocked my brain, I'm not exaggerating. Although a slow start, the book engages your mind with familiar aspects of the genre but weaves in delicious twists and turns that are truly unique to this author and world. It only took 20 pages for me to cancel my plans, read between traffic lights (just kidding), read while cooking and ignore my husband for an entire two days. I even stayed up late reading, fell asleep, got a good 6 hours of sleep and immediately resumed reading. The world building, division between races and political power plays just captivated me! Oh and don't forget the spice, which was oh so nice!
The characters are all likeable and the villains are truly villainous but you oddly like them for exactly what they are; destined to be destroyed for the atrocities they committed and in no way redeemable but also formidable. The banter among characters is fun, witty and sometimes has just the right level of smoulder.
Saeris and Fisher are lively and colorful but also so conplex that I can't wait to dig in more to their story in the future. Carrion and Ren, too, have bigger roles to play and I'm anxious to know more because I'm always 100% here for the loveable right hand man and the rougish, loveable scoundrel.
The book has the right level of mystery and well timed breadcrumb reveals as well as HUGE revelations that were sometimes shocking and sometimes a fantastic pay off for early on fan theories. ( I love when I guess something correctly but how it plays out surprises me; the best of both worlds).
Although the story ends with somewhat of a nice tied up bow, it leaves you wanting more and more especially now that the pieces are moving, villains revealed, gods out of play and characters tied together by love, fate, blood and power.
October 2025 please come soon!
