This is so entertaining.

“Eiko, please don’t make this a thing.”

“He strangled me,” she hissed back.

“He … held you,” Ky corrected. “It just happened to be by the throat.”

Why is this so funny.

“You want me to be mad?”

“Yes, I want your anger. Be as mad at me as you need to, just not from a forest away. Stay with me. Make me suffer for it. I’d rather be tortured by your presence than agonized by your absence.”

WHY AREN’T FICTIONAL MEN REAL 😭 😭

I’m on the edge of my seat. This is SO good.

“I’m not searching for men who need mending. I don’t care for their penance—only their last gasping breaths.”

…Big fan of Harlow so far 😏

Medra’s mom’s voice in her head is a weird plot twist and honestly I’m not really feeling it. I don’t wanna read about someone’s MOM talking to them in their head while I’m reading a romantasy.

Reid opened the door, looking over his shoulder once more at where his mother sat—

“I am the emperor of Asterya, too. And I’m going to get my wife back.”

THATS FUCKING RIGHT.

The truth was that men could not tell a virgin from a hole in a tree, no matter what lies they told themselves. She doubted this man could, either. Still, she wanted him to think her innocent.

Gagged. 😆

“Red suits you.”

“You didn’t seem to like the white.”

His lips pursed before sliding into a genuine grin. “I suspect you could stop my heart in any color.”

“The foreman of Mireh would probably expect a demure, well-poised woman of the heiress of Asterya. Not the murderous thing Vaasa’s father had turned her into—the callous, manipulative daughter he had demanded. Asterya’s eldest would not be some useless bride—she would be a weapon.”

“Little frightened girl,” taunted Thorir. “Fight like a man.”

“Perhaps I wish to fight like a girl.”

“I will give you drug for sleeping to sneak you out of castle. Give you nice room on boat. Many soft furs and books for reading.”

Ah Rurik…what a guy!

“That was impressive.”

“Too much?” Silla asked, glancing down the mead hall. “Was I too unkind?”

“Unkind?” choked out Vig. “Your unkind has all the fierceness of Helga the goat.”

*Reread*

Kicking my feet in anticipation of Rey’s moment in the spotlight.

“I won’t lie to you,” Silla lied.

😂

I love a good Viking Romantasy.

THIS ENDING IS DIABOLICAL

This is already a no from me. Poorly edited. Major holes in plot progression…for a book that’s about a month away from release, this should be in better shape. I get that not everyone can afford an editor, but when the BUSINESS OWNERS of the publishing agency are the AUTHORS OF THE BOOK…you get no empathy for me. If you’re gonna run a publishing biz, get a fucking editor or don’t run a publishing a biz.

I’m only 30% into this but I can confidently tell you to add this to your TBR *immediately*

“I was fourteen when Viktor pulled me from the cages of girls in his basement, and named me.”

…girl, WHAT??

I can’t tell you why there’s a random castle ghost character lurking in a story about goddess-made vampires, but…it works.

I’m so confused right now. I feel like I’m being gaslit.

Can we all sign a petition to veto authors using “little dove” or “dove” as a term of endearment in their writing? It’s SO awkward and kills the vibe.

LITERALLY WHO ASKED FOR DIRECT MESSAGING TO GO AWAY???? That’s SO stupid.

I would read the instructions on the back of a pizza box at this point if Melissa Roehrich wrote them.

I almost don’t want to finish this because I don’t want to be an empty husk when it’s done.

I don’t think I’ve blinked in 514 pages.

Oh no, not Archer 😭

Oh, ok, so Saeris is a badass. Got it.

You know for an author that had never written romantasy before this series, she sure crushed these epic fight scenes with insane power ups.
