The amount of things that happen in this book…

No wonder it’s so long! I went on a reread binge in order to remember everything that had happened before this book (it had been over a year since book 3 came out). Man… so much happens.

Book 4 starts off with Aria dreaming of dragons and phoenixes, of her father, of Aden. She has lots of questions about her role in the grand scheme of the Nine Realms and the biggest question she has relates to her origin. The council wants to cage her up, but Aria isn’t going to let them catch her. She continues to use the library since it knows her and allows her to seek refuge there. Knox smells her and senses her, but Aria won’t allow him to see her. He misses so much, but Aria is having a hard time trusting him.

Oh man. I have to say. I did not know how Knox was going to turn around in this book. I mean, the ending of book 3 was gut-wrenching for him😬. Finding out his wife was someone else was horrible. Buuuut I love how much he grows and he realizes Aria’s not his enemy❤️. He acknowledges that she’s his true mate, his person, his everything, and gahhhhh I was actually swooooning a lot🥰. I. COULD. NOT. BELIEVE. IT. For once, I didn’t wanna smack him lol. I’m totally loving him right now.

This book was tough in many aspects. The amount of betrayals, twists, deaths, heartbreaks… ugh… it was a lot. Chapter 15 was a tough one to go through. I was in my feelings for both Aria and Knox 🥺. The way Knox comforts Aria was so sweet yet admirable ❤���. She needed him, he knew that, and the way they come together was deeply emotional. I reread that scene because of how connected and vulnerable they were. Gahhh 🥺❤️.

One minute you think you can trust someone, then something happens where you want those characters to die, then you find out you CAN trust that person, then you can’t, then there’s a new revelation. I mean 🤯 left and right!!!

I also appreciated a couple of victories 😈 especially the big one that stops being a problem ☠️ 💅. I was loooooving that scene 💁🏻‍♀️ and applauding the actions that were taken 👏🏻. Annnnnd I am so excited to see how much more powerful Aria’s gonna get. The scenes where she’s able to demonstrate she’s not weak were cinematic and inspirational.

My favorite scenes were, of course, the scenes with both Aria and Knox together. They were separated a lot, but when they were together, holy f… it was worth it. The tension 🔥 the chemistry 🥵the connection ❤️the passion 😅the rawness of it all is simply scrumptious and delicious 😉. Four books in and their connection only gets deeper. I thought that maybe Knox was going to come in swinging, considering how pissed off he was at the end of book 3, but he was more analytical instead. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have minded some physical fighting between then, but that didn’t really happen and I was fine with it. I enjoyed this too.

Luckily, the cliffy isn’t as bad S the previous books😅.

Ember CRACKS ME UP!! I mean, I also appreciated the banter between Aria and Esme lol.

What bothered me- the grammar/typos. Some were obvious ones (like missing letters).

Annnnd… I wish we have more couple time between Aria and Knox… the way the cliffhanger happened, I have a feeling they’ll be separated a lot in book 5 😩.

I loved it! I hope we don’t have to wait too long for book 5😅😬.
