Book friends!
The ending of A Monsoon Rising… How to describe my feelings. I’m still reeling from that ending. Like,
I. Did. Not. See. That. Coming.
More Thoughts
As for the storytelling, utterly captivating. Talasyn and Alaric are my new OTP. I loved how Guanzon showed how on the surface Talasyn and Alaric despise each other. But, behind closed doors, it’s a completely different story. And there are so many sweet moments between the two of them where you’ll feel giddy and hopeful because of how lovely these two can be together. You’ll want to write in the margins, or make a note on your Kindle “this! this is what you both need and deserve! Keep this. It’s worth fighting for and holding onto.“
This series is FANTASTIC.
It’s got everything romantasy readers want and need:
- court intrigue
- the chosen one/couple trope
- enemies to lovers
- spice
- political/fake marriage
- one bed/forced proximity
- slow burn tension
- banter banter banter!
- Dual POVs
and so much more!
If this series is not on your radar then get this one on your TBR STAT + pre-order or grab a copy from your local library.
Happy Reading ~ Cece
