First, the MC was kidnapped several times, once was for the express purpose of sex trafficking - make that twice. Second, she struggled with depressing and suicidal thoughts. If any of those things are triggers for you, please don't read this book. On the other hand, the way they were addressed it was clear that this was not okay, and the good guys in the story treated her with empathy and compassion. Aura is an empath. She hears everyone's thoughts and feels all of their emotions. It's overwhelming. In fact, most empaths slowly go crazy and are destined to die alone since it is difficult enough to be in a relationship with someone when you don't know everything they are thinking and feeling. Her training is unlike the other sisters' because she is fragile. That training is to go into town and deal with things and then come home. But when someone tries to take advantage of her and she freezes, a knight comes to her rescue...and then kidnaps her. Everything is complicated and it doesn't ever become less complicated. Like the first two stories in this series, Aura's destiny is taken out of her hands and she is thrust into an adventure, whether she likes it or not. She learns of her birth and backstory, and we are shown more of Lady Eville's backstory as well. For all her talk of revenge on the seven kingdoms, I'm beginning to think all of her adopted daughters were the result of her compassion. As she reminds Aura at one point in the story, "we are the villains," but this is more a reminder that stories are complicated and there are many sides and we may not always choose correctly, but we must do our best. I don't think she's the villain we have been led to believe she is, but there are three more books to go, so we will see. As far as the love interests go, kidnapping the girl isn't a great start. And when we learn that he was put up to it, that doesn't make things a whole lot better. However, he does fight for her over and over again and only once (I think) makes the absurd statement "You are mine." Chanda, I love your books, but please stop this. We do not want to be possessed by men! Still, he has the most interesting backstory of all the men so far, and his choices at the end of the story are surprising and a bit mindblowing. There were quite a few twists at the end that were nothing I would have expected. Be warned, you will have your heart ripped out several times. Overall, I loved this. The series is taking an upturn in my opinion and I can't wait to see what comes next. Also, I think this was a Sleeping Beauty retelling, although it was hardly recognizable. There was a spinning wheel. And people fell into a deep sleep. Maybe? This one started out pretty good, but as we went along I had a hard time following along. I've been struggling with some health issues lately and had some trouble focusing, but even so, this one was hard to keep up with. The end felt very dreamlike and also a bit forced. I've been enjoying this series and will continue reading it. But I just felt this book needed a little more tweaking. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

And yes, Liam was kind of stupid at first. I'm so mad at him. But,at least the more he came here he redeemed himself.
And Aura,our main character,her character development is good,she is getting stronger in her own way. She can accept her own strengths and weaknesses.
In the end, Liam was the first to relent and not claim his throne for the sake of living with Aura which was simply not up to it.
“... You can’t live in my world, but I can live in yours.”
What a sweet word. ( )
