When she announced this dark, dystopian, age-gap romance, I'm not gonna lie... I was a little nervous cause this wasn't my usual type of story but in Nicci we trust! I'm so glad I took the risk because I'm obsessed with this world!
The romance between Rome and Aster completely captivated me.. because here comes this huge, badass king, that rarely shows emotion, and he falls so hard for a this tiny, sweet, commoner that was only ever meant to be a silk girl. I seriously can't get enough of this kind of love story and Nicci crushed it! Also let me be clear.. the spice was spicing in this story and it was delicious!
I'm so excited that this is going to a series! I can't wait for the next two installments!! I highly recommend this if you love dark, age-gap romances but as always... please make sure to review the CW's/TW's.
