To review

This is really good, but I do confess confusing at times too. See, Agatha has some years uncounted for so as she is trying to figure it out, I am also trying to figure out how it all comes together. Not to mention that is is not Agatha either. Oh yes, quite the ride.

Agathe lives in a world that is getting overun by the mist, and in the mist there are monsters. But this books shows that who are the monsters really? And whose fault is everything? Everything is not as it seems to be.

With her she has her fellow sisters in arms, and Meric, her lover.

Though one thing that I guessed back in book 1 showed to be true. I can't say I am glad to say I was right. It was quite the shock.

It is such a fun book. Adventure, danger, some love, betrayal and monsters. I am really looking forward to the conclusion.

Great narration. She did a good job with keeping the book alive and making all characters pop

Despite her best efforts, Agathe didn't kill the King, but she did escape with something even more valuable. Stealing back her magic was a good start. Now, she must find a way to save the Kingdom from the rising mist and the threats within. The spells that used to protect are fading fast with deadly consequences.

After more than a century of peace, the monsters have returned to attack the towns and villages, but they're not the only danger. A sickness in the mist mutates everything it touches-except for Agathe. She's special. If only she knew how to use that to her advantage.Who can she ask for help? Who should she believe?

Maric, the King's most valued soldier-and her lover-wants her to return to the Citadel and join forces with the monarch who stole her magic once before. Then there's Zanir, a smooth-tongued liar who taunts her via a mirror. He promises her answers. Demands that she come to him so he can show her the truth. The fact is, both men want to use her, and the wrong choice might mean the end of Agathe-and the Kingdom.

We are hosting another Romance challenge! Instead of the "bingo sheet" from the past. We are shaking it up a bit. The challenge is to read a book and check all the boxes! 

 

Rules:

– It HAS to be a romance novel (HFN/HEA). 

– One box per book (if your book meets a couple of these, you have to pick just one)

– No changing the box. Once you put a book in a box, you can’t move it.

– Books can be used in other challenges (examples: Goodreads, Library Love, TBR, Audiobook, etc.)

– Gotta try to check all the boxes!

– Starts 1/1/2022 and ends 12/31/2022

– Join whenever.

- We have an excel sheet that we 3 use so everyone is free to join to make it easier

ps. Do not try to make it easy and check those books months after reading a book. Nope check one at once. No cheating ;)
