Carissa Broadbent has a way with describing battle scenes that make you feel as if you are fighting along with the characters. Where Serpents laid the groundwork for the Crown of Nyaxia world, this book built on it. I love how there isn’t really a time gap between the two books.

I enjoyed learning about the politics of this world. Gathering more information on the Nightborns, hearing more stories about the Bloodborns history and finally getting to meet the Shadowborns. The MMC takes the throne by taking on a facade, it was interesting getting to learn where the facade starts and where it ends. I admired the way he shed some of the deepest parts of himself throughout this book. Our FMC kicked ass and took names. The way she grew to trust in herself, how her morals and beliefs held strong. By the end of the book, I would argue that Oraya took what the outside world called her downfalls and made them into her stepping stones to a bigger and brighter future.

I love how Broadbent expands this world with duets that are all interconnected to make the series as a whole. Take it from my experience, you should definitely read the novella before diving into this one. It technically can stand on its own, as it follows Veil and Lilith - I do believe it would have added so much to their characters throughout this book. While this did conclude the end of Raihn and Oraya’s story beautifully, I hope we get glimpses and more talks about them in the other duets. I look forward to what Carissa Broadbent does with the other vampire clans and if Nyaxia comes back for vengeance.
