Original Review
4 Stars
So, I'm completely obsessed with this series right now.
Seriously.
Obsessed.
Like as in the Tom Cruise style "I'm so obsessed with Scientology I shall laugh maniacally" kind of obsessed.

I know this series kind of...different...
...in what some might say is a "weird" M/M on steroids genre...
...But whatevs!
I freakin' DIG it.
See Mer-Man says it's cool, so it's aight.
So see, totally reasonable.
But I digress.
Book One is still my favorite, of course.
Nothing and no one can compare to Rohyr and Lassen in my opinion.
And while I at least liked Naeth and Reijir more as people than I did Riordan from book two, I didn't necessarily feel their connection as strongly as I did with the couples from books one and two.
Still, a really good story against a backdrop of outstanding world building.
Something else I think the author does that is really cool is tell each story in a timeline that interweaves itself into the timelines of the previous books - thereby making the time frame make sense and giving us even more details from those previous book relationships - but without being repetitive in any way.
Pretty neat trick if you ask me.
Well I would actually put some true effort into this and make this review an actual review, but like I said:
#OBSESSED
So I need to get back to reading book 4...which I am already 80% into...
Whoops!

Quotes Val ⚓️ Shameless Handmaiden ⚓️ Liked
“You think there’s no room for change when we reach a certain point in our lives,” he said. “That once shaped, we harden like pottery baked in a kiln and can no longer refashion ourselves anew. But we can change. We are each a work in progress and will always be to the end of our lives.”
