I hate that it ends on a cliffhanger—I didn’t realize that it wasn’t a stand-alone book! 😭
Also, I really don’t feel any chemistry between the MC (Lucius) and the ML (Dorian). Maybe it’s just me, but I really didn’t like that the ML was so in love with the twin brother first—even going so far as to pretend Lucius was him while sleeping with him. How the hell is anyone supposed to recover from that? I sure as hell couldn’t, and I definitely wouldn’t forgive it.
I felt like the ML only treated Lucius kindly at the beginning because he was lying to himself—pretending Lucius was actually his twin. And that tiny bit of attention (which honestly wasn’t even that much) was enough for Lucius (aka Lucius Migajero) to fall for him. But mostly, let’s be real—it was just because Dorian was super hot and gorgeous.
That aside, this book is incredible. I love Lucius, and I want him to be powerful. I want him to have someone who truly loves him—someone who chooses him first. Someone who doesn’t hesitate for even a second, no matter who his brother is or how perfect is. Because, let’s be real:
1. Dorian loved Julian first. Yeah, maybe he eventually fell for Lucius, but only because at the beginning he “softened up” and gave Lucius a chance solely due to the fact that he looked exactly like his brother. And let’s not forget—he literally moaned Julian’s name while sleeping with Lucius. If that’s not proof, I don’t know what is.
2. The Elder only chooses Lucius because God chose his brother. So, once again, it’s always about his damn brother.
SO if there’s a second lead or another ship down the line, I will absolutely not be mad about it.
P.S: Julian is kind of a snake, isn’t he? His brother just “died,” and he didn’t even hesitate before trying to kiss his brother’s husband. LOL. Way to go, High Priest in direct contact with God. Demasiado, la verdad.
P.S.2: I LOVE THE WORLD the author created. Like so futuristic but at the same time not? LOVE IT. Mrs. or Mr. Author, you definitely have a career writing. You're so good! I'm so happy that I found this book.
