OK- so the first chapter of this book IS OFF THE HOOK. That ending *chef’s kiss* — but then meh— nothing too memorable.

BUT Traitor Queen (book 2) NOW that is a book! (See that review for more 🤪)

" "Ice and fire might ravage the world, but still the cockroach survives," he'd said. "Just like you." "

The utter pleasure I felt reading this has left me with no words. I loved the fact that Lara has trained her whole life to be an assassin, yet having to stand by and watch wars unfurl around her and not being able to intervene and help without giving her secret away.

I had no intentions of this picking up, because I'm simply not great with adult book. BUT THIS WAS SO GOOD. LIKE SO GOOD. The enemies to lovers, the angst, the slow burn, the betrayal, the politics. I could go on. It was easy to stay up all night to read this, more than that, it was easy to shelf it as a favourite. I need more people to pick this up and gush with me about it. Readers of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Maas, Sabaa Tahir and Shelby Mahurin will eat this up. ...more
