The middle of this book gets bogged down (seems to maybe be a theme for Broadbent‘s second-half of a duology), but otherwise, I loved this.
The characters continued to grow, the twists continued to surprise me, and the romance continued to make me swoon.
The epilogue has me *very* interested in the final duology. Can‘t wait to see what she does with it!

Ooh my #2025readingbracket is filling up fast! My favorite this month was Shield of Sparrows and I used my last wild card spot for my second favorite this month Conform. I cannot make a decide between Onyx or Shield though. I just know one of them will be my favorite of the year!

The hype was alll real for me. This was right up my alley- a great epic love story, magic, TONS of secrets, great world building, and quite the cliffhanger ending! I was hooked, engrossed, borderline obsessed. 🤣 Might end up being my favorite book of the year. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Who would I become if I wasn't at the mercy of men?

Wow! OMG the second one needs to come out asap. I loved Odesa, the Guardian & Zavier. That cliffhanger! I need more of this world & these characters. I feel like I am writing with Odesa‘s inner monologue. SJM has a run for her money with this one. I may be in a book hangover for this one. I had only read one other book by this author which was just as engrossing who is fast becoming an auto read for me!!!
Happy Reading!!

Terribly disappointed with this one. This tells Mische‘s and Asar‘s story but was long and drawn out with not a lot of action. I found it hard to get into it and to care about these characters which is odd because the 1st book I devoured and it has just been downhill from there. We are being set up for a 5th book but I‘m not sure I‘m going to do it. ⭐️⭐️

This was a pick , but I don‘t think it‘s worth all the hype,I am hoping the next one will be better 🤷♀️
