I decided to give Laura Thalassa another chance when I requested this(I loved The Bargainer series, but bailed Pestilence). Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the writing and found it intriguing, I didn't like how Memnon treated her. I get he was betrayed by his wife, who he thinks is fmc, but I still thought if they were soulmates and he loved her as much as he said he'd be a bit nicer, especially since even if she's who he thinks she is she has memory loss(cost of using her magic). We definitely got moments of nice, but there were definitely moments of him being a dick to negate the nice. Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Bloom Books for an earc of this!
