Amy's Reviews > Beneath a Shattered Sky

** spoiler alert ** Has my sweet boy Caed not suffered enough?? 😭

This book was excellent. I mean, it broke my heart, but I loved it. The characters continue to be beautifully developed, the plot/romance/spice balance was great (maybe ever so slightly overdone/forced adding the fake heat spicy scene right at the end in the middle all of the chaos), and the pacing was great.

I really enjoyed the plot and the different approaches to each court. I was worried the series might start to feel a bit repetitive with a "get to a court, face a problem, deal with the problem" sort of formula, but this book mixed it up nicely! I mean, I guess at it's bare bones it could boil down to that, but I like that we got a couple of courts that were easier to get the vows, even if they came with their own challenges. It was nice that each court had it's own unique dynamic and story.

It was wonderful seeing Rose's confidence grow and so satisfying for her face the minor royals with a take-no-shit attitude. Her character growth across the series has been beautifully done.

I'm someone who rarely laughs at books but this book made me laugh aloud multiple times throughout. There's a great mix of heavy and light across this book and it was generally just a really entertaining read.

I am both incredibly excited and terrified for the next book because I need this HEA like I need air to breathe, but I also never want it to end 🥲
