The Lovely: All of it - but particularly the characters because they were so complex and imperfect people. Both Theon (mmc) and Tessa (fmc) have unique past experiences that have not only shaped them individually but impact how they respond to each other. Tessa is a victim of circumstance and of her own nature she cannot control. And she gets hangry, which I identify with. Her indecision and apprehension make her feel real. Theon is dark and does do some inexcusable things. However, I can also see where he does what he does to protect her. He very much has a view of how things should go and struggles when that doesn’t happen. He’s conflicted snd troubled in his own ways and sometimes that frustration erupts, dramatically.
The Mundane: I honestly struggled to think of anything in this story I thought was just meh. There was good world building around the lore, and I think some of it came easier to me because it did build on the Lady of Darkness series. A lot of items weren’t new or confusing simply because I had seen them, or a variant of them, before. So, I do recommend reading the Lady of Darkness series first.
The Dreadful: newp. none. zip.
Rating: 5/5 stars. 2/5 flames.
Recommendation: This book was mesmerizing and I lost myself in the story. It alternated between making my heart melt and ripping it out to throw against a wall. I cried, I smiled, I laughed, and I got angry. I love a book that makes me feel the full range of emotions on such a deep level. Simply an amazing story with non-stop tension, an intriguing plot and characters you love and hate in equal measure. This is a must read for dark romantasy readers, and any readers who like dark romance with a deep and lush world and story. I was provided an ARC for this book for my review. (
