⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️
As the second book for one of my favorite series of 2025 – I had high expectations and this book came through. It separated itself from similar books in the genre with continued unique world building and history.
Give me all of the strong, female mcs – their rage, their power, their sharp mind – yes!
Spoilers ahead if you haven’t read Dire Bound
Meryn has taken back her family’s legacy, but this is just the beginning. She has to figure out how to stop all of her people from dying in this war and also defeat Killian/Alistair. We can all agree that he should be defeated just for calling her Kitten.
Meryn has unlocked a well of power within her, but can she use it for good or is she bound to become the very thing she has been fighting against.
