![]() ![]() ![]() It was fascinating to meet those other peoples deemed ‘dark’ and ‘monstrous’ by humans and the Fae/Etherians, and I developed quite a soft spot for the Imps in particular.Īlyce is now known as Nimara, and she feels both familiar from Book 1’s characterisation yet so changed (especially with Mortania’s spirit now well-rooted inside her), now that she’s been able to rain full vengeance upon the Etherians who mistreated her and others that they considered monsters. We open with a Prologue that sets up nicely for the 100-year time-jump, and I loved how vividly the Dark Court came to life atop the ruins of Briar. This book is incredibly bingeable – who cares if it’s 3am?! I need another chapter!! – and it yanked me out of my reading slump with the force of a dragon. ![]() But could Aurora ever love the villain Alyce has become?Ĭontent warnings (highlight to see): blood, injury, gore, death, violence cutting self as part of ritual loss of a loved one reference to past death of an F/F couple But that love came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce’s vast power cannot seem to break, and their dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.Īlyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. Princess Aurora saw through Alyce’s thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. ![]() |
