Would have to be listed as my least favorite in the series! Following the loss of one of their own, the entire group is mourning in their own way, but also searching for vengeance.

Which means they have to separate into groups in order to accomplish this task, leaving them more vulnerable and Reid and Lou apart. Their separate journeys are not only physical but emotional as well. They’re all trying to run away from things, the death of an actual father and a father figure, ...

  This book is perfect for lovers of any of Sarah J Maas’ work, especially the Throne of Glass Series. Following the story of Lou, a Dame Blache, who is running from her previous life and trying to make a way in a world where witches burn. She senses trouble when witches make a move to attack the King in a public setting and she needs to hide. But not before bumping into the Archbishops military force against all types of magical creatures because they are considered unnatural. Where we meet Reid, the Archbishops golden boy and captain of the Chasseurs, who thinks nothing of her running from the scene in the square. Until their paths meet again at a political figures’ house during a robbery and he’s taken aback by her ability to narrowly escape.

Having to hide who she is from her husband, the entire world, all while tr...
