Okay THAT was good!

When I said I didn’t know where the book was going, I didn’t predict that it would be going straight into mediocrity…. I miss the banter so much.

I love smut as much as the next romantasy girlie, but not in the middle of an undercover rescue mission. And in a carriage of all things! The Colon and Penelope of it all 🙄

Also , what does “the charm felt like storm clouds and solving puzzles” even mean?! 🫠

A Dirty Dancing lift?! REALLY?!

Give me strength 🙄

This is starting to read like a checklist of romantasy tropes. We’ve had a close-quarters horseback ride, bucketfuls of snark, endless training scenes, lingering glances on balconies and we’re now gearing up for a ball.

That said, I like that Enzo wields light and Elara is a shadow… mummy? No. I don’t like that. Shadow… Queen?

Calling it now: Merissa and Leonardo are bumping uglies.

Elara’s gone from trying to escape to kissing Enzo on the cheek in a few pages. Okay, sure.

I genuinely cannot tell where this book is going.

The banter in this book is top tier so far. I’m really warming up to it, even if the prose isn’t the best.
