Sleeping Giants #4
Favored
Princess Holland knew what men saw when they looked at her. She knew they couldn't see what lay beneath the beauty they favored. Something had died inside her long before the night that changed her life forever. The rage and sinister creativity that once ruled Slayte Miltiades was favored by those who had created him. That favor set him apart from the men he loved like brothers and connected him with the monsters he came to loathe. Those monsters moved among cultured circles, gained admittance to inner sanctums until they could strike quietly-savagely. Slayte was no longer part of that depraved world, but one never truly walked away. One never truly escaped the ghosts. Slayte embraced his ghosts just enough to keep them appeased. Then Prin Holland came into his world, and the ghosts were no longer meant to be embraced but destroyed. "Favored" by Ally Fleming is a standalone title. The books in the Sleeping Giants series can be enjoyed independently of each other. For a richer experience, please read the four-book series.

A great end to the Sleeping Giants series. (Though I don't know if I will say its end because while the 4 best friends have found love, there are a few more giants that could potentially take a spin at love).
Secrets, past fears, new truths all come to a head in Favored. There were small clues throughout the first three books about Slayte and Prin that I didn't realize until reading this last month. The culmination of this story shows us why they had to be last.
Prin and Slayte's past wasn't pretty. Their families were complicated, their pain was palpable, there's regret from some decisions and they both carry massive guilt. While they start out as friends, everyone knows they were always meant to be more than that. There's a lot to unpack in Favored but in the end, these two characters managed to find their own personal joy.
Loved this series.

This is an EXCELLENT finale to the series!!! Wow, I don't know where to start. I didn't think Ms. Fleming could top Intoxicated, the first novel in the series, but she absolutely DID! Well developed characters and plot. Each story was different but connected which made each story fresh. Prin and Slayte's story is a fitting end to this series. Both fighting their own demons while falling in love as friends. This is a don't miss series. Highly recommend it!

Fitting End to the series
I have enjoyed each book in the series, my one complaint the time that lapsed between the books, at least the last one. I had to go back and re-read them all. The twists and turns were good and some of the things that happened were expected but so many were not. Loved it.

The Best!
The wait is over. I was not disappointed. The Sleeping Giants series is very good. So much potential for other stories for Andy, Luke, Caleb, Hellum, Aug and Basil. Great job. Highly recommend.

More than worth the wait! And there's more? Yes! Print and Slayte story was kinda more heart wrenching than the others because she had family stuff that she ran from and still ended up in a mess!! Very good read!
