I read this Novella after completing Rain and Nights' story in the series, and I really think it fit quite well there. 

I knew enough about Sora and Bragi from those two books to walk into this Novella, not needing a whole bunch of additional information, but also really excited to read their origin story. 

I fell for both of them so hard. Poor Sora just trying to save her brother and Bragi with the absolute biggest heart. 

This Novella was, without a doubt, 100% swoon worthy. 

I love Tomorrow. She is rivaling Rain for my favorite fmc in this series, I absolutely adore her. She is so sweet and so strong, and she just loves her darn Grandma. 

After reading House of Tricksters, I also feel like I have a soft spot for Darko. I fell in love with Sora and Bragi, but we really didn't get the chance to see Darko in the Novella. But he was wonderful. I love the protectiveness of the dragons, and their tendencies to hoard their mates makes me so much happier than it should. 

I appreciate that this book dug a little deeper into its characters than the other two stand alone in this series, while I felt the last two were pretty fluffy, this one kicked it up a notch and had just a little bit more. 

Shout out to Ruby, who is so cute. And to Susan and Margot, who shine so bright throughout the whole series.

I won't lie, after his appearance with Rain, I was so excited to see that Malcom got his own book. I absolutely loved him exactly as much as I thought I would. Between him and Solis, I was a goner. 

While I liked Hrafn, she's not my favorite fmc in this series. Her familiar might have been, though. Ezra was so much fun. 

Super shout out to the cameos. It's so much fun seeing glimpses of everyone, and let's be honest, the real mvps of this series are Susan and Margot. 

I was sad to see Rain and Night go, but honestly, I loved Jonas and Frances so much. This series is just stock full of the light-hearted
banter I love, and my heart is just here for these books. 

There's not much to this book. It's a bunch of romantic fluff, and while that doesn't usually do it for me, it does here. I couldn't get enough of these two and their sham of a sham of a relationship. 

This was the perfect end for Rain and Nights' story.

Honestly, Rain turned into the most badass, hardcore fmc, and I could not be happier. I stinking love her so much. 

Nights' character was there. He was fine, but Rain was the shining light here for me. And Erikson was the opposite of everything that Rain was. The opposite of a shout out here for him. 

I wanted more politics, but what I got was scheming and action and blood (oh, and dragons). I will accept that as a fair trade. 

I had so much fun with this book. 

I'm in such a good place right now with these series that have such cute lighthearted banter with its characters, and I'm having the time of my life. 

I love Rain. She's adorable. Absolutely adorable. And I love Night. Them together is the chef's kiss. 

All these things I loved about this book are coming to me in a flood, and I could point form them all here, but that seems silly. I had fun, it was a cute book. 

I think I could have used a bit more political intrigue, though. This book was very much just based on the relationship between the mcs. Which started because Night was trying to stop a war, and I feel like I wanted more of that side of things. 

Huge cliffhanger, though, so I'm going to go ahead and assume it's coming in the next book!

This felt… unnecessary. 

There wasn't enough of it to make an impact, and what was there just served to frustrate me rather than make me happy. 

Caed’s character just felt like a ripoff of
Devryk. Teacher student relationship and all. Why make them so similar? Especially when it's just a tiny little Novella off a very large novel, it doesn't make sense to me. 

I could have used some insight into Caed. But instead all we got was this psycho dude that was into Lilias sister, who, by the way, just threw everything her sister worked for for ages out the window as soon as she met a guy.

I don't know. It was a nice idea having him come save her from a serial killer. But that's all this Novella was. A nice idea. 

I really liked a lot of things about this novel. But. Also, I didn't… this one is hard for me. 

I love love love the atmosphere that surrounds this story. The Gothic vibes, the spooky undertones, I could not get enough. The parasites that were infecting these people was also so interesting, and like forget the tws about it, I wanted more of that. 

More of that and less of the smut. It didn't work for me. I guess the teacher-student relationship just wasn't my thing because I didn't love their romance, nor did I really feel like it was a romance. They weren't, and then they were. Probably because he watched her video god.knows how many times. 

I also didn't like the end. I hate when a twist comes out of absolutely nowhere. I want a hint once or twice throughout the book, otherwise it just feels like a cop out. And I guess it wasn't really, but I needed more leading up to it. The whole whabam here I am thing didn't work for me. 

I also could have done with more of the secret society. Honestly, this book had so, so much going for it. Personally, if we would have focused more on the parasites and the secret society and less on Lilia, I think I would have swooned for this one. But, I didn't love her or her life. And I really didn't like the addition of - or the twisty connection to - one certain character I won't name. It didn't feel like it fit.

I didn't like this book… at all. I stuck it out because I wanted to know the truth, but the truth was a letdown. 

I was beyond bored pretty much from the get-go. Considering Booke worked in a prison, absolutely nothing happened, except that poor guy with sores on his butt or whatever. 

Her relationship with Tim? Lackluster and boring. 

Her rekindling with Shane? Ridiculous… also, Lackluster and boring.

There was nothing in this book that had me interested, let alone on the edge of my seat. 

By about a third of the way through it was pretty apparent to me who the killer way, just maybe not the how or the way that it ended up being in the end. 

Wasn't worth my time, I won't lie.

This book was better than the last 2, not by far, but by quite a bit. There were moments that I actually found myself enjoying it, which is more than I could say about books 2 and 3.

Overall, I was really let down with the King Arthur fantasy world crossover. It felt like King Arthur was just a selling point for the series that was mentioned a couple times here and there, until this book, where a lot of the King Arthur characters were brought front and center.

I never really connected with any of the characters, and more than anything, I think Ava just frustrated me. 

But that being said, this book was a lot more action packed, there was actual scheming and spies and everything that I was looking for in the other installments, so I was very happily surprised (and relieved) when reading this one.
