It’s political, full of shifting alliances, and big on betrayal. I love that it leans more onto the plot but the sprinkle of romance was so good it reminded me of true love. Lels. Even knowing where it was headed, it still hit me like a punch. Some stories break you because you don’t see it coming, but this one breaks you because you do. 😩 The Assassin’s Blade got me bad. I thought I was just here for the backstory, but every novella pulled me in deeper. I don’t think I’m ready yet for book 1. 🤧
