Firstly, thank you for the review copy. I loved everything about this book and its conclusion. I'm a big fan of this author and jumped immediately to read the conclusion of the NB Trilogy, and oh boy, it was a ride I never wanted to stop. Those final few chapters were mind-blowing, bringing me back to the start. The king's games, the battle, the whole Phoenix city, arriving, and, and, and, not only to this book but the whole back story.
I loved all the characters, and I was shocked when some of them were wiped from existence, (I am not going to spoil this for anyone who is as crazed about these books as I am.
I was hooked from the start and each chapter was a discovery each time, making this a page turner to the very end. The tremendous brain power behind these writings is unique and the gay romance is not overpowering. It flows with the story and is so HOT. Best sci-fi PNR because of its originality.
The humor injected, made this a book where I laughed one second, cried the other, and chewed my nails down to the bone at the end.
I'm invested in this plot and love each character, and can't wait to read what Kashel comes up with next. It's a joy to read and listen to their work and I predict tons of more original works from this author in the MM genre, as this was their fourth book and it keeps getting better as the author grows. Can't wait to hear the audiobook!
