I loved the first book and was dying for this one, and Day Leitao did not disappoint! Adding the extra POVs was a great choice and made the story so much more immersive, as was the spice!!!!!! I could not be happier with this book and can't wait for more!

Book 2 was perfect, more POVs, more spice, more everything that pulled me in fron book 1!
Highly recommend

Thank you NetGalley and Sparkly Wave for a copy of this e-arc!

Book 1, A Cursed Son, was great for me. Book 2 here, was FANTASTIC!

Step back into a world where you discover if the villains are really the villains? Is love true love? Heroes really heroes? Sometimes yes, sometimes no!

The author switched it up this round, going to a multiple POV story telling. I LOVED this decision. At first, I was skeptical, but honestly, I loved the side characters POV’s more than Astra and Marlak’s sometimes. We got SO much from these side characters and I loved exploring more of their stories. I think their own side adventures add to the whole overall story going on throughout the book, which is Astra working to find her true self. There was some twist and turns I didn’t expect and others maybe I did, but didn’t take away from the story.

We got a lot more spicy in this book too, which, thank you! One thing I really appreciate about the female characters especially in this story, is they are not ashamed about their sexual pasts. And that their partners don’t shame them either for their thoughts on sex. It’s a refreshing approach to the usual romantasy style writing. It opens up a lot of doors for directions spicy scenes can go.

The one thing that sucks about being an arc reader, is you have to wait EXTRA long for the next book. I’m excited for book 3 and hope it comes out soon!
