Always fun to read.
Rina Kent never disappoints on this.

But, for now, Anastasia and Knox are more like two horny teenagers than anaything else. Hope the story will lead to more next :)

This book is a lot political with everything with the khagan or with the different clans.
It's quite interesting to see all this.

But otherwise, it feels soo slow.

Trouble in paradise...Kyle really messed up with this one.
But let's see what is next.

Some recents events went too fast to have the impact they could've had but it's ok. I'm know what I'm going into with Rina Kent. And I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Part 1 - Done
OK, now that everything seems in place, I feel like we're going to leave the political aspect and all the court intrigues for something more.
The danger is near!!

I'm still curious so let's go!!

We haven't left the palace yet...but it's changing.

Let's keep reading!!

OK.
Rai...what did you do?? I'm shooked 😱😂
I'm having a good time. Rai and Kyle have a unique way of dealing with their couple problems.

I'm here for it!!

Things are happening so I'm curious.
It's still slow, in my opnion. I hope it'll start moving a bit more soon.

I wish I'd known sooner about how to read Empire of Storm and Tower of Danw in parallel. It might have made this reading easier.
Dont get me wrong, I like Chaol...but seeing in drowning in self pity is complicated ^^'

Slow beginning but let's go.
This book has been waiting for years in my TBR so it's time to read it!!

The suspense is killing me.
Like, everything seems fine...but, at the same time, I know Kyle is hiding things, the Irish mafia is a threat around them all...argh!! I need more info!!

Wow...this is such a fun read.
Rina Kent invites us in the mafia side, more specifically the Russian mafia...and I love what she did there.
You can feel the danger. Where the Elites were more refined and powerful men with lots of money. Here, we deal with more rugged men.

Rai and Kyle...they have history and it seems quite complicated between them. I like Rai and what she stands for.
Can't wait to read more!

I must admit I'm a bit lost between the different timelines and the time travels they've made...but I really enjoy being with these characters.
The main trio, Aaron, Joan and Nick have a piece of my heart.

The beginning is a bit slow but it's getting better. Can't wait to have more action now.

I wasn't expecting much of this book, of the Empire series, but damn...I'm having so much fun with these two.
Gwen is a bit naive and childish but hey, she's only 20 so nothing wrong here. And Nate...I like complicated men like him. Torn between duty and his desires.

Yep...I'm curious to see what surprises Rina Kent has for us in the second half of the book :)

Let's be honest, it's not my favorite duology by Rina Kent.
I'm not that fond of the romance aspect between Naomi and Sebastian. Not shaming anything or anyone but I'm not attached to them.

But, the plot around them (the mafia, the family ties...) are really intriguing and I can't wait to see the surprises Rina Kent has for us with all of this.

It's different from what I'm used to with Rina Kent.
Naomi and Sebastian make me uncomfortable, if I might say. Their relation is really dark and twisted.
I can't manage to get attached to them, in any way. See what I mean?

But, I'm curious to see what Rina Kent has in store for them.
Let's see!!

Sorry but....after this, you can't tell me Carter is a nice guy. Nope!!
Right now, I'm mad. He acts like a kid making a tantrum. Tss... I'm so mad at him 😡🤬

It's cute, I won't lie...but I'm not really invested in this story.
Garrett is a real sweetheart. Jennie has had a terrible experience in the past, which explains her behavior.
But...it's very long!! The rythm is off for me...I don't know, the writing doesn't grip me.

But...it's not bad.

I still don't like Carter. Sorry, he's too much for me.
I understand, he's nice and very present for his friends and family. But nope, I can't with him.
He's not even the main character here but he takes so much space x_x

Otherwise, it's a fun read. Jennie is touching and I like Garret with her. He's so patient and caring.
Let's see where we go with them.

We start to have answers but at the same time, new questions arise. And some mysteries get darker.
Yep, still enjoying this story!

I'm enjoying this soo much.
I like the mystery around Reina's past, the duality between her in the past and her now.
I can't sop reading, I need answers!!

It's too early to say if I like Asher or not, considering he's not very talkative but...I'm sure he'll surprise me.

Let's get back to it!!

OK, end of part 2.
I don't know what to say. I'm intrigued by the political intrigue inside the palace. But...for the rest, I'm not into it more than that.

Let's see if the next parts are better.
Especially if Jin is involded. I like him!!

Nope...toujours pas.
On continue le listing des malheurs pour les uns et les autres. L'autrice semble vraiment chercher à créer du "pathos" autour de ces persos. Seulement, pour ma part, c'est tout l'inverse qui se produit. Je lève les yeux au ciel plus que tout avec eux.

Et l'enquête...c'est laborieux de ce côté aussi.

Pour le moment, c'est pas fou :(
Je n'accroche pas avec Elvira. Je la trouve excessive dans tout. Ok, elle est très intelligente...mais dans son comportement, on dirait une vraie gamine.
Quant aux 5 mecs, ses voisins...mouais. Pas convaincue non plus.

On nous rappelle rapidement qu'il y a une enquête en cours derrière tout ça mais pour le moment, ça flirte plus que tout.
Et le style d'écriture n'est pas dingue.

Oh, I'm having so much fun woth these two.
Aurora is not one to let anyone step on her and Jonathan has that aura, that charisma that grips me.

I'm devouring their story. I can't wait to have answers to the many mysteries surrounding Aurora's past.

Can't wait!!

End of Part 2!!
We get to know more about the characters. Wren and August are still my favorites.

Lots of questions and doubts. I'm sure the headmasters and co are a bunch of liars. I don't trust them.

Let's see. It's a nice read and I'm intrigued.

Cole is as intense as I knew he would be.
But, there is something around him I can't put my finger on yet. I'm very curious !!

Silver...I like to see this other face of her. She is clearly not the Queen B she wants us to think she is.

I'm enjoying this reading!! But now, I want more than just this push and pull between them.
And the suspens with the Doll Master is killing me!! I need answers.

I wasn't expecting what is happening right now!!

NOW comes the moment that will change everything, I feel it. The next chapter is going to change so much.

Oh Ronan...you are so much more than just smiles and parties.

This book is taking by surprise...I love it!!

It's a nice read but I'm not hooked.
I wish Fei could try more to understand her gift and be more pro activ.
And Siwang..no real charisma, in my opinion.
I'm more team Yexue.

I'm intrigued but not much else :/
I understand Fei's motivation but she seems so uncertain of what she wants. I'm not yet fully convinced nor at her side.

Let's see.

I don't know where we're going...but, if I'm honest, I'm having fun.
Slow start but it gets better. Not very dark at the moment.

I've seen many spoilers so I know some of the future events but I don't mind. I'm still discovering most of the plot so I'm OK.

I already know that Will and Damon are the ones that intrigue me the most. Let's see if this book convinces me enough to read the other books ^^

End of Part 2.
It's getting better, with more tension and I feel a big drama coming.
But I feel like I'm drag in many directions without seeing where we're going.
And Will and Aya don't look like they control anything, it's more like they suffer from the situation and I miss their string duo.

But...things are changing. Let's see where we're going.
