Court of Claws by Briar Boleyn

4.0

Thank you for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

This is book 2 of the series, and this is a whole new world! Literally! Draven saved Morgan at the end of book 1 but we never truly know how he did it until the end of book 2. All we know for the majority of this book is that he took her back to his home, where he was previously banished from. In order to help Morgan go back and fight against Arthur, Draven has to get an army behind him and the only way to get an army is to become King. However.. the only way to become king, is to complete trials presented by the Queen Regent, his step mother.

There is so much that happens in this book. Morgan doesn't trust Draven 100%, and every time she finds herself trusting him just a little bit more, he does something to break that trust. There is a couple scenes that get incredibly spicy and they become so close, that their relationship is just perfect! I do think that there are some parts where Morgan still denying their relationship is almost childish. She just kept saying that she hated him but then a week later she is all over him, granted he does some stupid things and hides too many details.. I just don't think Morgan's anger came off as anger, it was more tantrum-like.

The end of this book, at the end of the trials, I don't even know how to react.. we finally find out how exactly Draven saved Morgan at the end of book 1... which is so shocking and surprising that I don't know where this is going to go from here... and then there is the epilogue!! WHAT!! I did not see that coming!!

Can't wait for book 3!
