The cliff-hanger ending had me nearly throwing my phone.
I listened to the audiobook, it is duel narrated. Laura Horowitz does a fantastic job at the narration again. Whilst I also enjoyed Corvin King's voice, I did struggle a little as there wasn't a lot of difference in his narration of Ryker's POV and Keelan's POV, making it hard sometimes to follow who was speaking. The pace of the book was good, I would say medium to fast-paced.
I really enjoyed the further world development in this book and uncovering more about the magic system, Fiaa's abilities and also the different fae. There was a lot going on this book and while there were some slower parts in the book, most of it had me on edge, especially the final chapter. I felt easily drawn into this world and invested in the outcome of their story, hence the almost throwing my phone due to the ending. I will say that the chapters are LONG, like really long! I am someone who really doesn't like having to stop reading or listening part way through a chapter and with most chapters being as long as they are, that happened often. However that is a personal pet peeve. There is a definite increase in spice and whilst the spice scenes in my personal opinion are well written, I did find that on a couple of occasions there was too much in too short a period, which for me at times took me out of the book. I really like the relationship between Ryker and Fiaa, I do wish there was a little more focus on the development of the no sexual parts of their relationship. I love the sweetness of the bond between Fiaa and Keelan, I think he is my favourite character. It somewhat gave me FBAA vibes with regards to the relationship dynamics between the 3 main characters. I do wish that there was a little more character development on the side characters as it seemed to be very prominently focused on Fiaa.
All in all if, I am impressed with this debut series. If you are looking for a spicy (not dark) romantasy with plenty of action and secrets to uncover, then this is one to add to your tbr.
