This book is too long

This author prioritizes flowery exposition over directing the literal action in a scene.

I really like this author’s writing, she paces and builds emotional moments really well. But her imagery can be hard to follow.

They be flirting hard in the office 😭 is no one else around?

WOW!

Why is it so hard for me to get into Tia William’s books?

Although at times incredibly boring, this book is quite the literally feat. Its mostly three characters, Addie, Henry, and Luc, but its also Addie in 1714, Addie in 1780, Addie in 1800s, and so on. Each version of her learning and growing, determined to survive. And the narrator references future and past versions, then brings it back up in that time period!

I thought she would fall in love with the darkness in 2014 when he was mortal. But it seems like they already have a twisted enemies to lovers thing going on and that he may have turned human to not have a soul but have her love

This book is all logistics

Finally some mystery! Lets get this party started!

This set up is a bit elementary…are my expectations too high?

Quality of writing is just so-so

Wait do I need to be a literary genius to read this?

The insta-lust is getting boring. This will probably be the last book I read in this series.

War chapters always lose me

Appropriately climactic coup and amazing pacing in the emotional turning point of their relationship

It annoys me when powerful characters are easily over powered

Oraya is a tough cookie, and I love her for it. But it makes her emotional turning points feel distant

Top notch banter!

I’m enjoying this read, but I’m tired of not knowing who is the enemy force

I live Vincent the Father/King

These action sequences are hard to follow

I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing.

How is bonding her against her will any different than assaulting her sexually? He forced himself on her for his gain. Gross.

This is predictable and annoying now

She wants to make her own choices for her future but is still tangled up as a pawn. She wants to stop the war but won’t find a solution other than using herself as a bargaining chip. I can’t stand when ppl get dickmatized in books. But thats romance 😓

Someone on Tiktok recommended this. Its ok so far

It’s always a struggle to get into Tia Williams

It got interesting then boring again

I’m glad they wrapped up the sister drama without a major fallout
