***I always try to be as objective as I can with my ratings for DARK THEMES & TRIGGER WARNINGS, SMUT TECHNICAL CONTENT/INTENSITY, SMUT QUANTITY, ROMANCE QUANTITY, ANGST LEVEL, ENEMIES-TO-LOVERSNESS; the ratings for CHARACTERS, WRITING, PLOT, WORLD BUILDING, SETTING, SMUT QUALITY, ROMANCE QUALITY, are instead tied to my own subjective reading experience and final opinion of the book.
And she knows me way too well, because I literally ABSORBED this.
Holy shit, what a spicy little gem. I'm so glad I didn't let the A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows fiasco keep me from this because I would have missed out on a super entertaining and addicting book.
Everything, from the plot to the characters and all their interactions, appealed to me, right from the start, in a way not many books can. I couldn't stop reading and every time the two main characters shared a moment, it was pure fire.
There was never a dull moment, never a minute to catch my breath because something was always happening. If you wanna know how to mantain your reader's attention, this book's got some hints for you.
Nyra is a lovely mc. I appreciated her spirit and didn't mind her flaws, because she's a well rounded character and one I can't wait to see to her full potential in the sequel.
Her frienship with Wren didn't feel rushed, especially considering how it started, and to me, a good friendship in books is equally as important as a good romance.
Dacre...Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, Dacre.
Gods, did that boy make me sweat. I understand why Koisty was obsessed with him..
Not gonna lie, his dirty talk game initially threw me off a little. He was always so composed and broody, I literally didn't expect him to unleash dirty words at FMC after he only had a tad too much to drink, but I got used to it and kind of realized he was simply a filthy little bitch in disguise.
And me likey.
The last chapter threw me off the roof. I could see it coming, of course, but I'd hoped it'd come fuck me up a little more gently than it did.

He reached forward and ran his fingers over the edge of my shirt.
He played with the material mindlessly, but it was a stark contrast to the fire he was stoking inside me with each assure touch. "Did you wear this tonight to punish me?
"How in the world would this be punishing you?
"Because you're not mine."

I'm currently on 82% and there's been a few kisses and a little action (no PiV tho), so far. The tension is sooo good and I'd definitely categorize this as spicy!
