I would have much rather Zera just go off on Lucien and remind him - repeatedly if necessary - that she’s Heartless, she eats people (messily, I might add), he’s a prince, and they 100% should not be together. It’s mostly because the classic trope of “We can’t be together so I have to make you hate me” is going on hard in this book and I kind of hate that trope. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.īut a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?Ī few tiny spoilers for the previous book.ĭiscussion: These books are so much fun to read, although I will say that at times Zera absolutely drives me up the wall. Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard.

As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity. With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.īut fate isn’t ready to give her up just yet. In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Oh, and I almost forgot - this one is part of my 2020 Resolution. I have to really enjoy a book to buy in that format, though to be fair, I had to buy this one in hardcover because I like my books to match. Note that it’s also a big plus that I bought them in hardcover. I made a point to buy this the second it came out because 1) I’d bought Bring Me Their Hearts in hardcover when it was released, despite already owning an advance reader copy ebook and 2) it’s better to immediately support authors rather than do the wait-and-buy-them-all-at-once thing (seriously, it is).

I think part of that stems from knowing once I’m finished, I’m back to waiting for the next/final book in a particular series. Or read it much, much later than originally planned. The Bring Me Their Hearts series is best enjoyed in order.I seem to do this thing where I’ll be super-excited for a book, buy it the day it’s released…and then never get around to reading it.
