The setup was original and one of the things I liked the most about this book is definitely the plot; I had a lot of fun uncovering mysteries, learning about lore and betrayals, meeting the colorful cast of fantastic creatures, and following Dianna and Liam on their extremely bloody journey. The fact that she goes through so much shit but still manages to have that fire in her spirit and come out of it alive stamps her as one of my favourite heroines from all of the fantasy books I’ve read. Narrator not really my cup of tea, I did think she made the main protagonist sound fun and sassy, but the male protagonist not really. TL;DR – A fantastic fantasy fiction with a unique world of Gods and Monsters, swoon-worthy and lovable characters, a profound relationship development, and action-packed with an unpredictable plotline and an unexpected cliffhanger.

Now she serves as his right hand, taking down his enemies while he lords her sister's safety over her head. She wasn't the helpless one needing protecting and my favorite main characters are the badass powerful females.

every page is them ranting about each other and if it's not that, we get those long ass flashbacks or some stupid explaining about some stupid shit i couldn't care less about. Sacrifices have to made in this kind of journey but that doesn't make them any less heart wrenching. But when he touched me, cradled my face as if I was the most fragile, beautiful being in the world, I melted.

If you were reading this book hoping for spice, I’m here to tell you there are two chapters of ‘spice’: some finger banging and a really uncomfy blow job. Amber’s monster world is full of likable characters and a great plot that keeps you reading even though sometimes it feels it has too many unnecessary descriptions or scenes that definitely can be cut out.

The way their enemies-to-lovers grumpy x sunshine-with-murderous-tendencies was written was ✨chef's kiss✨. The Book of Azrael is a debut NA romantic fantasy that has glowering reviews so apparently this is a "me" thing.I appreciate how the author didn't try to diminish her rage and her power even when she started opening up to Liam as oppose to many, many other romance fantasy.
