review 1: This is a very enjoyable read. It may be the third book in a series, but it's perfectly readable as a standalone. As far as I understand it these books are connected because of the overall storylines, but each book is focused on a different couple. The world building was very intriguing. The idea of the different demon clans and castes was interesting and lend itself well for a suspenseful story. The setting alone would have been enough to keep me reading to find out more, luckily the story and romance were really good as well. I loved the setup of the romance: instead of a vulnerable heroine it's the hero who is put in the vulnerable position and it's Imhara who has the upperhand in their relationship. I loved the interaction between Imhara and Arek. Both have to learn t... moreo trust and the tension between them was well written. It's clear that the things that are happening in the action storyline will have their consequences in future books, but the ending of this book isn't a cliffhanger, it's rounded enough that you can put the book away feeling content about the story instead of frustrated. It does make you curious about what might happen next though. All in all this is a delicious Fantasy Romance with a really cool action storyline as well. I will try to get my hands on the earlier books in this series, because I want to read more about this intriguing world.
review 2: I think Kylie Griffin's books have grown stronger each time. There's so much keeping Arek and Imhara apart - Arek's hatred and distrust, Imhara's fierce independence and desire to put her clan first - and the story weaves around these two characters as they fight their attraction, grow, change and develop. I thought it was very clever and realistic. A truly remarkable story, set in a fantasy world but with so many themes relevant to my life. less
