3.25⭐️ - An enjoyable, but a little predicable, romantasy with wolf clan politics and conflicting goals
Aurora, princess of the southland, has resigned herself to her fate of marrying the odious Sebastian. It's a political situation that will aid her father, but not one that she's pleased about, particularly when she experiences one of his brutal fighting pit displays. Sebastian's tradition of capturing the warewolves and treating them as slaves is one that is bad enough already, but forcing them into martial combat makes them sick to her stomach. Sneaking away in order to try and offer some medical care to a young wolf boy, she comes face to face with the brutal alpha. When a breakout attempt starts she has to decide on the lesser of two evils - staying to be wed to the terrible Sebastian, or following the violent alpha.
I really wanted to love this, as I'd heard good things about it, but I can't say I was really hooked by it. The way everything played out was more than a little predicable, even if it was still entertaining. It was good enough for me to want to read the next one in order to find out what happens, but I'm really hoping it adds a bit more overall. The one real positive was the narration, with Zara Hampton-Brown and Shane East offering great portrayals.
