Do you have a few minutes to talk about ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2025?
God, this book was exactly what I needed. A big, fat romantasy filled with drama, tension, the slowest slow burn, and found family.
Was this book somewhat predictable? Yes, but not entirely. Was it heavily inspired by Fourth Wing? Glaringly obvious yes, but honestly.. it works.
DIREWOLVES ARE THE NEW DRAGONS.
I was utterly immersed in this book, it was incredibly gripping and while I saw some of the twists coming, a lot of it was still somewhat surprising. I can not fully express how deeply I love this book (and Anassa... and Stark... and all the wolves in general).
Some people find Meryn to be annoying, but truthfully, she is traumatized, losing her father at a young age, caring for her mentally ill mother, and parenting her younger sister when she's still not even fully grown up herself. Her arc was satisfying, and I can not wait to see her grow even more in book 2.
I think the biggest trigger warning here are the wolf deaths. If you are deeply affected by animal deaths, know that there are a few, and they were hard to read for me. Otherwise, complete perfection.
♾️ stars, I won't know peace until I have book two in my hands.
