I’m definitely still interested in continuing this story. The antagonists are closing in from both sides on the Fells. The plot is engaging and continually moving forward. The two stories with Ash and Lyss haven’t combined yet so I’ll see what kind of answers I get in the next installment, Stormcaster. As a series it was strange to change to essentially a whole new cast. I was a bit confused that we only saw a few characters from the previous book. He only annoyed me when he became a little too love-struck and that literally all he could talk about. I think there relationship is going places and I am here for it. A little more slow-burn, with my favorite trope: enemies to lovers.

The love story is cute, definitely not insta-love like it was in Flamecaster. This is a big reason why I continue to love this (and her previous) series. I can’t wait to see how Lyss grows into the future Queen of the Fells and rules her Queendom. Lyss doesn’t even own a dress! And she has muscles! Oh how I adore the way the author portrays her heroines. I still was captured into the story by the writing and characters, but it was still missing that last little oomph that makes it a 5 star.
