Kings Rising

Wow. Just... Wow. I can't believe how much better this series has become since the first book. The first book was so rough, so explicit in the wrong ways, so nope at some points (for me at least). But then came the second book which I liked.

And then came KINGS RISING. Oh my god . What can I say? I am giving it 5 stars, I only do this when I love love!! a book. And this one was so good, I couldn't believe it.
I loved the development of the characters. I cried, I laughed, I fell in love with Laurent and Damen and their beautiful hate to love, enemies to lovers relationship. I admired how Laurent overcame his fears, his insecurities and he became such a strong and lovable man. It is somehow clear that we wouldn't have done it the same without Damen, which makes me so happy that they found each other.

I hated The Regent so much, but his character is really good. He's sneaky, he is smart (well, not smart enough to beat Laurent and mind games) and he is cruel. A cruel, awful man, he deserves his death sentence. I came to like even Nicaise's character and I felt so sorry for him in the end. He was innocent, he didn't deserve what he got. And Aimeric too. Poor characters, they suffered so much because of this cruel man.

All in all, this was a great book. I loved it, it kept me hyped and I couldn't wait to finish it and see the ending. Which was a really emotional one, Kastor getting what he deserved and Laurent and Damen creating a world for both of them. A world of peace.
