Starting tomorrow actually - the night before I head into the city for the first time. Super excited to head into NYC with a book set there :)

At first I found freya insufferable and considered DNF’ing this book. However, after that (spoiler alert) battle with draug and seeing her grow in her acceptance of Hlin’s power within her, I am starting to like her a bit more. Though I do find her constant lusting after Bjorn annoying the rest of her character is interesting. Plus the setting is well done as is the plot line.

So far I’m really enjoying this read- like every other book I’ve read by Lucy Score. It has me wanting to stay up all night to finish reading it so I know exactly what happens. The added mystery elements and PI element has taken me back to my Nancy Drew reading days.

9% - very descriptive like almost overly so. Kinda hard to get into but I really love the concept and at only 9% in I feel like it would be unfair at this point to judge the book too harshly - at this point I’m thinking ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read just based on that it is too wordy.

Have to admit not my favorite in the series. I know it is character development for the final two which I am excited for but this one just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Ridocs banter is honestly keeping me interested. I love seeing what funny thing he is gonna say next. This book is definitely slower paced when compared to the other two. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

SPOILERS

- saga and Ari are the most infuriating couple in this series
- saga helping Ari after he was framed for the murder of senge (by former queen Astrid no less) was kinda nice
- the raven being saga?! Not a twist I saw coming. This is the first book I’ve read where there’s a shifter
- very much a “touch her and die” vibe mixed with “enemies to lovers”

Warning: spoilers

So far so good. Like the other kingdoms a little slow start but I’m excited for Eryka and Gunnar’s wedding. I’m also really happy that Ari has come to Saga’s defense even though he “hates” her.

I am really really loving this book. the plot is fantastic. the story only makes sense in third person (and i don’t usually like third person books. this arc is def one of my favorites and i cannot wait to buy the physical copy when it comes out!

At only 14%, I am really enjoying this book! I’m not used to reading books in third person but so far the way this one has been written is just so good. It makes sense for the story.
