I AM NOT OKAY. THAT ENDING WAS NOT OKAY. I NEED BOOK THREE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
In case the capital letters weren't enough to persuade you that I loved this book, let me assure you that I LOVED this book. It had everything I could have possibly asked for in a sequel: romance, suspense, danger, magic, hurt comfort, angst-filled sword fighting, and so, SO much more. The author's depiction of anxiety felt realistic, and I am beyond grateful that Sera--a badass--can deal with it without ever being treated as weak. It is crucial that mental health disorders are reflected in books, especially when they are handled in a way that doesn't take over the entire story. Casual representation of anxiety is lacking in most fantasy (especially romance), and so to see it done so well here made this book even more special.

“Needing me or anyone to look out for you doesn’t mean you’re weak, that you can’t defend yourself, or that you’re afraid. We all need someone to watch over us.”

“I will not allow any harm to come to you.�
“I don’t need you to keep me safe.�
Thick lashes lifted, and those wisps of eather fragmenting the silver in his eyes were brighter than I’d ever seen them. “But you do.”
