I liked this book a lot more than the first one. Two dragons find out they have the same mate and we all know that dragons like to hoard things and they definitely don’t share their possessions so how is this going to work? To make things worse Earnan and Nevin are enemies. Earnan's mother killed Nevin's dad and also poisoned him. So who will Ben choose as a mate the Ice prince or the fire prince?
To be honest with you I was kind pissed Nevin had to share a mate with Earnan coz I hated him in the first book but I grew to love him. The spice was kinda boring and I felt a bit uncomfortable reading the DAP scene but tail was so freaking hot....more

This right here this is a banger. And I know bangers. I know bangers!!!
Damen and Laurent are on TOP!!!
"How can you trust me, after what your own brother did to you?" "Because he was false," said Damen, "and you are true. I have never known a truer man." He said, into the stillness, "I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly."
"I miss you too," he said. "I am jealous of Isander." "Isander's a slave." "I was a slave." "You were never a slave, Damianos. You were born to rule, as I was."
Damen killing mindlessly will forever be my Roman Empire
"The field was a rutted earthworks strewn with the dead. The ground was a churned mess of flesh, ineffective armour and riderless horses. Killing ceaselessly, for hours, he had not been aware of the scale of it, of what he had caused to happen here. He saw flashes behind his eyelids, faces of the men he'd killed. Those left standing were all Akielon; and they stared at Damen as at something impossible."
Laurent is just so freaking smart. I love this mf so much.
"You were taken prisoner, you single-handedly escaped from the cells at Fortaine, and somehow managed to get Guion to switch sides on the way out?"
The ending was kinda rushed. I wanted there to be an all out war against the regent and Damen to slaughter the Regent but beggars can't be choosers plus this ending was more realistic. I was so freaking mad they didn't abolish slavery. They implied it but I didn't actually get to see it happen. All I got was Damen telling the cloth merchant, "Damianos will end slavery when he becomes king."

“I know who you are, Damianos,” said Laurent”
Enemies to lovers to Enemies will forever be my favourite trope...more

Holy shit this was so freaking good!! I got all of what I asked for and then some(view spoiler)[ but I wish I never got that update on Nicaise (hide spoiler)].
I got the romance that I was waiting for and Damen being protective over Laurent.
"A king maker would always choose the weaker man. The weaker the man, the easier he is to control." "What makes you think Kastor is the weaker man? You don't know him." "But I'm coming to know you," said Laurent.
I loved this scene.
The man slid his hand slowly down over Laurent's body, Damen moved before he realised it, heard the sounds of impact and resistance, felt the burn in his veins. His faculties were obliterated by anger. He was not thinking about tactics. That man had laid hands on Laurent, and Damen was going to kill him.
"Damen reached unthinkingly for a sliver of meat, but Laurent's grip on his wrist stopped him, drawing his arm back from the table. 'Torveld tells me that in Akielos, it's the slave who feeds the master.' Said Laurent "That's right.' 'Then you can't have any objection,' said Laurent, picking up the morsel, and lifting it. [...] Laurent shifted in, and brought the meat to Damen's lips."
Idc what anyone says this scene was hot as hell.
If there's one thing that I love, it's when a mc is so freaking smart that they are thinking ten steps ahead of their enemy and they cannot be surprised.
"Did you think, said Laurent, "if you threw down a challenge to fight, I would not accept it?" [...] "My scorn and contempt, said Laurent, are not in need of your leniency. Lord Touars, you face me in my own kingdom, you inhabit my lands, and you breathe at my pleasure. Make your own choice." "Your Highness," said Lord Touars, "I have received my orders from your uncle. They carry the full authority of the Regency." Laurent said, 'The Regency exists to safeguard my future. My uncle's authority over you is dependant on my subsequent authority over him. Without that, your duty is to break from him."
Oh he ate this down I fear. You cannot compete where you don't compare.
I also got an explanation on how Kastor took the throne. I always wondered how he just sold the prince into slavery without any outside help.
"What does your uncle have to do with-" "Where do you think Kastor got the military support to hold back his brother's faction? Why do you think the Veretian Ambassador arrived with treaty in hand right after Kastor took the throne?"
I really loved this sequel and I am so glad I stuck it out. Just imagine what I would have missed out on if I quit this series after book one.

What I need from this book:
A:) An update on Erasmus (let’s not just forget about my boy) B:) Some romance at the very least a kiss (but I don’t want them to get together just yet) C:) I need to know what’s going on in Akielos D:) An update on Nicaise ( I need him to get away from that pedophile) E:) More action I need battle scenes

I still don’t know how I felt about this book. I loved it but it also made me uncomfortable at times. I am gonna read the whole trilogy tho since I loved that it is an ACTUAL enemies to lovers story and ALSO a very slow slow burn.

AHH this trilogy!!! SnowBaz FOREVEERRR>>>>
This trilogy was super fun and silly and I loved how everything was concluded. I did love this book a lot more than book 2 coz we got all these cute scenes with Simon and Baz and the plot was more interesting. Also the silly angst in this book is turned up to eleven. Were Simon and Baz perfect? No but that's the reason I love them so much. I just love how their relationship developed throughout the series. These two are the type of couple that will live in my head rent free.
Guys the WINGS???? I get why he wanted them removed but also NOOOOO!!!!...more

“You were the sun, and I was crashing into you. I'd wake up every morning and think, 'This will end in flames.”
The plot was kinda predictable. the writing wasn't the best, the character were so annoying sometimes and We don't get to know how Baz fell hopelessly in love with Simon but did I still eat it up? Heck yeah I did!! I mean what's not to like? There's angst enemies to lovers Vampire Mc (I want a scene where Baz feeds from Simon. I need it like i need air) This shit was like a drug I literally could not put this down. I think I liked Penelope's character the most but would I want her as my Girlfriend? hell no but she would be a loyal friend.
I know the scene where Penny and Simon escape the Humdrum was supposed to be sad but I was laughing my ass off when they were tryna get rid of Simon's wings and Penelope was just crying and casting spell after spell....more

Something occurred to Ilya after he ended the call with Shane: maybe Shane had recorded that call and was going to run it through some sort of translating app later.[...] That admission would have been embarrassing enough, but Ilya had also slipped in an "and on top of everything, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you and I don't know what to do about it."
"You are very beautiful," Ilya said Shane smiled without opening his eyes. "Come on." "Is the truth. Your freckles." Ilya grazed a fingertip over his own cheek. "I am nuts about them." "I have no idea why. I hate them." "Noooo..." Ilya moaned. "Hollander. They are stunning." "Stunning?" "Yes. Am I not using that word right? Very beautiful. Um... take my breath?"
"I love you." Shane froze. And then Ilya froze. "Holy shit," Shane whispered. It wasn't how he had meant to respond "I..." Ilya's eyes were so wide and so scared. "I love you too," Shane said. Ilya gave a shaky smile and exhaled. "Thank Christ." "Does it...does it feel like agony for you too?" Ilya started to nod, then stopped. He shook his head slowly instead "Not anymore."
"when I retire," Ilya said, "after I have won twelve Stanley Cups and thirteen MVP awards[...]"And you have been retired for, like, eight years already because you got very bad at hockey..."[...]"Then I will bring you to that dock out there. I will have hundreds of candles all over it.."[...]And I will get on one knee- [...] "And I will say, 'Shane Hollander, will you please marry me so I can become Canadian citizen faster?'...more

I liked this book and the whole faerie world but I don't get the hype surrounding it. The only characters I kinda liked were Dain and vivi.
The whole reason for Cardan hating Jude was so stupid and childish.
"I hate you because your father loves you even though you're a human brat born to his unfaithful wife, while mine never cared for me, though I am a prince of Faerie. I hate you because you don't have a brother who beats you. "Is that all?" I demand. "Because it's ridiculous." "Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop."
I don't see why people called him cruel I know he threw dirt in her food and all that but I was expecting him to be more evil. I was expecting him to be more like valerian.
"Was it fun to deceive me? Did you like the feeling of having something over me? Did you like that he was flirting and kissing me and all the while promising you would be his wife?"

There wasn't a lot going on in this book it just shows us why Warner is the way he is and the mental health issues he battles with. I kinda feel bad for him and everything he went through but I still don't get how he and Juliette end up together. I don't get why he loves her so much without even knowing her. I guess I will see how their relationship progresses. The best part of the book is when Warner starts reading Juliette's diary and actually see's what she's been through....more
