I only actually cared about her and Galen and Luin by the end of this. Also the pregnancy trope in the epilogue just felt like a half assed attempt to keep the story going

I have finally reached the finale of the series. Officially finished the series within a week.

I knew Devin was sneaky right from the beginning!! I think I really liked his story with Calla most more than the others'.

I think I was kind of expecting more, just a teeny bit more from the finale. I liked how the story went and goes but somehow I just needed a little bit more.

But overall a fun series to read and fully enjoyable. A fantasy book that doesn't hurt your head whilst reading.

OK… hear me out. These books were entertaining (series of 4) yet I can’t quite say why.. I feel like a lot of all four books was just traveling. She gradually develops these bonds with the four men but you don’t get any background on how they bonded. It’s just straight to love, no background. It would seem like the time that passes between the four books is quite some time yet you get no concept of how long it has been since you get no real insight to anybody’s story. I love the FMCs that are powerful or tough and Calla was just carried through the whole series with no real power, she doesn’t even learn to protect herself in any of the books. The action scenes weren’t it either honestly. I really don’t know what made me read all four.. but I did so

This book was completely different than the others and in my opinion COMPLETELY missed the mark. It is so superficial in their connections and relationships and tbh some parts are a little cringey. Didn’t like it at all but DEVOURED the others
