None of it mattered in this book. Such a waste. this book was pure cunt! the passion!! the electricity!! i love this series to the depths of my soul. i was a completely different bitch prior to reading this series. i can’t comprehend that none of it was real and that i’m simply expected to move on with my life 😖💔 Now she is left with no choice but to marry him to stand a chance against a kingdom full of vampires who want to kill her. his character, i feel, is the most complex i've seen in so long. the cold lonely king, afraid to open himself up to love because he knew it was the only weakness people had. but he just couldn't help loving his wife, his daughter to pieces. and it destroyed him.

Vincent the king, who would kill my whole family in the name of power, who would slaughter an entire race, who would lie to me for nearly twenty years about my blood to protect his crown. I love Oraya, she is strong, brave, fierce, sassy, tenacious, stubborn and will do anything to protect Raihn and the people she cares about. Oraya's character development was excellent, she grew so much and learned more about herself and her powers. I'm so proud of Oraya, she went through a great deal of hardship and grief in this book, but she came out the other side stronger. Raihn- One fit to be called king. He has two different roles- to be a leader to his subjects which requires him to make tough decisions and present an equally tough exterior; also to be a husband to not only a queen but his lover while desperately trying to make things up with her. I really liked how balanced his two sides were. He was so smitten by Oraya, and he actually shows that in his actions.Maybe the king always knew that his greatest love would be his ruination. Maybe he knew it the moment he met her.❞ Raihn was right in front of me, so close the Nightfire surely had to burn. If it hurt, he didn’t show it." (a lot of shit you did hurt him and he didn't show it, for your information.) When they say there’s a fine line between love and hate, these two encompassed that. The slow-burn romance between them was the sweetest kind of torture. Every interaction between them had me on the edge of my bed. I was tense. I was pining for them! I could not get enough of them. So I choked out, “Raihn,” against his lips, a question, an answer, a plea. Because that name was all those things, wasn’t it? Raihn. My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known. Sypnosis: Oraya, the mortal daughter of the nightborn king, lost everything to the Kejari. She is stripped of her title, crown and forced to play the prisoner queen of the man who killed her father. Left with questions no one could provide answers to, Oraya can't tell apart friends from foes, not when the last person she considered a friend broke her heart and left it bleeding, not when the future of her people depends on her. Her kingdom is in the clutches of a far greater threat than she realizes and the only one who can buy her a change against her enemies is her capor, her husband, which leads her to form an unexpected alliance while coming to terms with her own powers and fighting a battle with her heart that still beats for the man who crushed it under his ambition.

If I haven't already, this is where I’ll lose a lot of you... This is really about personal preference, but “There she is” does not do it for me. When this line was used in the first book, it neither delighted nor irritated me. But the amount of times it was repeated in this book took me out of moments between our main characters that I would’ve otherwise been very invested in. A couple of other repeated lines were a bit cringe, too, but I do think there are many beautiful quotes throughout this book.DEEMA, MY LOVE AND BESTIE! You made this experience truly unforgettable! I don't know what I would do without us sharing our every thought to this series. Thank you! <3 the way Oraya was shook after all the events that took place near the end of the previous book. she just broke after all that. but then, she rose from the ashes and then slowly claimed herself, and everything that was meant to be hers. i loved her so much.
