Where do I begin? This book took me on a journey that I never expected to go on. First off I love an amazing story. But there is nothing I love more than a narrator that can take you on a journey that is elevated way beyond what you could have had in your head. This narrator took me on a movie level journey and I loved every moment of it. I listened every chance that I got! There wasn't a time when I wasn't thinking OMG what is going to happen next? How did we get here??
I absolutely loved this world that Karina took us to! I loved every element, everything that was so different than anything that we had ever known to be like a mythical world. What we had been taught as the underworld wasn't anything like where she took us to.
Hanna knew very little of the world that she was thrust into but she took it in stride and adapted so well. I loved her as our main character she had spunk, that fight in her that she inherently needed but also had such a caring side. I loved how she cared so much but was also weary of everything around because she was so new to everything. She was so adaptable to everything and curious.
I especially loved how she was curious of Death and everything about him. She wasn't afraid of asking questions and wanting to know more about him and his ways. She wanted to know more about the man she had pledged her life to. What she wasn't expecting was how she was going to see Death once she was able to actually see him for who he was.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Once the spice 🔥 was spicing 🥵 it was spicing all over town y'all. It was some of the best spice in a romantasy that I have read. I was thinking to myself what have I been missing out on all this time??
Death was definitely a mercurial being. He was unlike so many men. He was emotional when it came to Hanna. He was invested in her before he was FULLY invested in her. He started by calling her little bird and fairy girl. That is when I knew that he was falling for her. There wasn't a time when I wondered if he had feelings for her. But there were times when I questioned if things were going to escalate even quicker than they did.
I fell for these two hard and fast and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book!!
