“Yes,” Islington replied as he stood in the hall holding his hat. “My butler is quite taken with Miss Agnes’s potential and has recommended poaching her services upon my nuptials.”

>> Does this mean marriage to Emma? 🤭

This girl is just irritating to no end. WTF. I am inclined to agree to most reviews - both men deserve someone better than the h…

Okay, I am loving this so far. I am irritated with our h though.. her decision matrix on which halfling to hate/like is out of wack.. no thought process at all

Woot woot! 2nd book in a row that captured my interest! Really enjoying this one.. I love how this is narrated, I love the pacing, I love the main, secondary, and tertiary characters are all interesting… this has the potential to be a 5 star read!

But what is the king’s intent? What is his objective and purpose ?

C’mon! Rodrick?! Rory?! There’s a lot more other names to choose from 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nina is irritating me to no end.. she acts like a 20 yr old.. esp the cinnamon smell bit.. overly apologizing about the smell, doing everything to stop the smell, asking if it irritates Henri.. argh.

Henri doesn’t have any personality outside of him being HUGE and grumpy.

Note, Mariana prefers her men burly and grumpy.. I prefer the H to be more like Lukov

This reads a bit too young .. like middle grade. Also, why can’t she just say to Hugh that she needs to work coz she needs to earn money for basic necessities! How hard is it to explain with all of the yapping she’s doing

Sigh.. I get J’s trauma.. but seriously this is too much and tiring in novel form.

Okay I read a couple of pages in, I take it back.. W is also a pin in the ass!!!

Thank you W for communicating! What a character growth.. now only if we can have J do the same 🥸

Oooh.. so there is something BIG. And Woland doesn’t know! Thank you writer! This is getting tooo gooodddd!

I am hooked! Like 5-star level, cant put down the book hooked.

One complaint so far though, there’s something Woslan is hiding - I just hope there’s a big reason why he’s not communicating WHY he’s stalking /needs Jaga.. and not something silly like pride.

This is getting repetitive and boring.. I’m pushing forward.. God help me

Dont force the touch her youll die trop please! Theyre calm quiet relationship was doing so well right up until this point woth Lord Yu 🤦🏻‍♀️

“This is the tale of how a chosen one falls. She does it screaming, clawing for her old life with broken fingernails. She does it slowly, over the course of decades.
And in the end, she takes the whole forsaken world with her.”


Beautiful beginning.

Honestly, I do not feel the chemistry between oak and wren

I like that the love scenes in Dunmore’s books are more”realistic” than the usual romance novels - where a girl’s first time always ends in an orgasm .. her books so far allows for a bit of frustration on the girls part.. a

Swooooning!

Loving this book so far.. Elias is very interesting and is stealing the pages! Catriona is a bit bland for me, however their chemistry is off the charts!

The writing is not what I expected .. I am still waiting to be wowed. There’s also a lot of telling and less showing in the story so far

Chapter 6 is cringe!
