Good read but these last two books have not been as good as the rest of the series. I like Lyrica and Vero in general but there was a lack of depth and emotion I was hoping for in their development. Vero has one of the most unique histories but he was pretty flat and there was a lack of emotion for Lyrica that left me wanting, they just kind of became a couple and that’s it. But my biggest issue is that all the sudden the Kurjans are like a different society just because some leaders were killed in the last book! Every book in this series talks about how they treat there women terribly and all the sudden every woman is actually happy in their trad wife roles and we are wrong for judging them? Wish we would have instead seen the culture grow and shift from what it was to what it is now, just felt like lazy world building.

This was the worst book in the series. IMO. It was very slow. Not nearly as action packed as the other books. I’ll read the next book in the series because I’m a fan BUT if it’s anything like this one, I’m done. I’m so disappointed in this book.
