Just as he handed Wilder a goblet of wine and offered Thea a tankard of ale, Wren stood up so suddenly that she knocked over the concoction she was mixing.
Farissa leapt back. ‘Elwren, what’s got into you —’
A second later, the doors to the lounge flew open, and the Bear Slayer, Torj Elderbrock, strode inside, his mighty war hammer resting on his broad shoulder.

the showing of how Thea became a strong warrior was well done, we saw how much she trained and worked for it, but how she learned to control her power was not showed that well, most of the time she couldn't access it or didn't know how to control it, but she used it a few times and now she's super powerful and a master at it

On one hand the explenation for letting her drown in grief, rage and betrayal for a year is a bit stupid, on the other the only thing they do when together is bang, so at least Thea trained more without him around 😂

I’m sorry but it’s so stupid to me that Wilder can’t accept that Thea doesn’t trust him. Dude (yes he deserved to be called dude), you ran away after apparently betraying her and all of the realm and stayed on the ran for a year!

”Tell me, Thea, I’m in with a chance, aren’t I?”

Kipp, love you, but I’m pretty sure Wren great love is someone else… 😂

Have another book ready that came out the other day and I had planned to read it soon after its release… but I’m too much into this series to press pause now and read something else

Are they for real having sex twenty feet from their friends mere seconds after a deadly fight where her sister could have died and there is a city under siege from monsters where people could be dying and they should be going there?

I'm gonna throw hands

Thea felt the first patter of rain.
‘This you?’
‘Yes,’ Wren said between clenched teeth.
‘Well, would you mind?’
‘I was trying to open it up just on the Bear Slayer.’
—-
‘Well, as you’ve so acutely pointed out: now it’s just raining on all of us, isn’t it?’
Thea was sure she heard a huff of laughter from behind them

Wren and Torj otp already

so Thea’s sister who’s already having truble sleeping can sleep on a cot in a small cramped room with three other people, but him and Thea are taking the master bedroom with bathroom as well, because God forbids he doesn't bang her every night…

“I’m done denying it”… It’s been like a week since you decided to put pause on your banging, and you have just been ambushed because you were too busy panting at each other to notice, denying what!!!
P.S. It’s still an ok book

Can the two of them think about anything other than banging? And stop having sex in every scene, no matter what’s happening or what they should be doing instead?

“I can’t fight this anymore” when have you? Ever. All of the 3-4 scenes you have had in the book you have been groping each other!

Now we are going somewhere

Not a great start, she’s being an annoying brat and he an horny asshole

Like the story, the characters, there is potential! Honestly the least interesting part is the romance, beside the bit of connection and respect that was formed at the start, there was not much actual development to support these intense feelings. The connection and friendship between Thea, Kipp and Cal had a way better growth. And it’s not like I saw Wilder have that much of a personality

Good, enjoyable, I want to read the others too, but it's 3 or 4 stars? undecided

I’m growing fond of Thea and understand her side, but Wren is right, she is so focused on herself and her grand dreams that she looks down upon everyone else’s, I'm glad she recognises it and wants to do better

I wanted to read Iron & Embers but I heard it’s better to at least try this one first, so here I am and I’m liking it so far

How Thea alone recognized the poison and found the culprit in 5 seconds was a bit ridiculous… still ok first 100 pages

I mantain my opinion, I’m not really feeling anything, still ok story with some eyerolling cliché but as a whole alright, and ok unremarkable characters, Aether and Ma being the ones I kind of enjoye more.

Has she finally realized she had romanticized the controlling creep she had spent no meaningful time with and didn't know at all?

She is not a super insofferable mc, but a bit annoying yes

This discovery that only Fia has made at just the perfect moment for the plot while everyone else overlooked it for years is very convenient…

It feels like a miracle to see people recognize how abusive, toxic and manipulating the relationship between Fia and Laryk was, even if she’s still romanticizing it

It’s a long book I don't know if I’ll manage to find the will to get to the end reading it all of if I’ll skim through.
This is for sure better than the first book, the problem is that in the first one I had HOPE, now I’m sadly accepting that nothing will stand out and it’s bland.

Not bad but also not that good, mediocre I fear... So far nothing stands out in this series 🙁​. Just ok.
And Fia is so childish

he treats her like a thing he bought and can put away when he doesn’t need it but hey, that’s so dreamy… please real mmc arrive because I can’t anymore

he’s creepy, controlling and makes my skin crawl with his grins and everything he says… what the hell does Fia find attractive about him is anyone’s guess
