Definitely a 5 star read, I loved it all. Normally I don’t go for love triangles, but here I am, desperate to know whom she’ll choose

Overall Rating: (3/5 stars)

Spice Rating: (1/5 peppers)

Summary: The curses are broken, but so is Isla. After winning the love of not just one, but two rulers. Isla has decisions to make. How will she rule her people? Who will she share her love with? Can she save Lightlark from certain destruction?

What I loved:
-The use of flashbacks. Seeing what happened in the past makes the first book more understandable.
-Grim

What I hated:
-Isla being selfish
-Isla
-How naive Isla continues to be
-How Isla treats Oro
