I absolutely love all of Nisha J Tuli’s books and I was so happy to be able to continue this series. This series is so addictive and beautifully written!

I am a huge fan of Nisha’s books and was so excited to receive an ARC. The world building is so well done without being tedious, the characters are complex and flawed and realistic, the spice is spicy and this book did not disappoint. I’m so excited to continue this series when the next book is ready!

I mean, come on. This series is so stupidly good! I'm obsessed with it.

I practically screamed when I got this ARC. I love Nisha J. Tuli and this series is my all time favorite from her. Everything about it is great, the world she made is so amazing and I love fantasy books based around East Asian culture and mythology. So many fantasy books focus on Celtic or Norse mythology, but the vibes of this series are unmatched. It's so unique and the characters are so easy to love. She is the queen of pacing, never too fast and never too slow.

Betrayal tropes in romance books are always tough because the author has to really find the right amount of time for the characters to be separated to where you feel like the betrayal didn't get dragged on too long, but you also don't feel like they gave in too easy. This one really hit the mark on that. I felt that Zarya stayed mad for the perfect amount of time, and Rabin never gave up. Once they came together, she took a fair amount of time to trust him again but was still open to him and working on it. I think this is one of the best post-betrayal trope storylines I've read! It really was just the perfect pace of reconciliation.

This book was a 5 star for me, just like the last one. I'll probably think about this series for a long time because I'm so obsessed with the world it's created. I'm never going to shut up about it! The only bad thing about receiving this early is that I'll have to wait even longer until book 4. I'm ready for it now!!
