✨ A Bittersweet Farewell ✨
Court of Lust is the conclusion we’ve all been waiting for, and for the majority of this book, I absolutely loved it. Saying goodbye to Harper and her men was never going to be easy… but I’ll be honest the ending left me with mixed emotions.
Let me start with what this book does right, because there’s a lot.
I adore Harper. She remains a strong, compelling FMC who has grown immensely throughout the series. And then there’s Sevrin, the Hollowborn king introduced in the previous book. Normally with RH, I try not to pick favorites because I always end up loving everyone but Sevrin was just different. He isn’t the savage monster everyone expects. Instead, he’s gentle, protective, and genuinely wants to love and care for Harper. I couldn’t help but fall for him.
With King Sevrin now fully woven into the story, the princes finally start acting like grown men and openly showing their feelings (about time). Their reactions weren’t surprising, but they were incredibly entertaining especially Lucien, who continues to steal every scene he’s in.
Then come the drinking games… and wow. The extent of the king’s abuse is exposed, and I genuinely had to pause and take a breath. That moment was heartbreaking and heavy, adding a raw emotional layer that truly stuck with me.
That said, this is one of those stories where everything feels too perfect for a while and I knew something bad was coming. And it did.
While the story does wrap up and everything turns out okay in the end, the ending itself felt rushed. I wanted more more room to breathe, more emotional payoff, and more growth, especially from the three princes. After such a strong journey and such a solid series, the conclusion just didn’t linger long enough.
And maybe that’s why I’m a little sad.
This series is now complete, and I’ll truly miss Harper, her men, and Ebron our sarcastic, scene stealing male dragon who never failed to make me laugh.
Despite my feelings about the ending, this was still a strong conclusion to a series I’ve loved. If you’ve been following Harper’s story, Court of Lust is absolutely worth the read just be prepared for a goodbye that feels a little too quick.
