Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Ever the Divided. Ever the Feared. Ever the Brave.
After saving King Aodren with her newfound Channeler powers, Britta only
wants to live a peaceful life in her childhood home.
Unfortunately, saving the King has created a tether between them she cannot sever,
no matter how much she'd like to, and now he's insisting on making her a noble lady.
Its been quite awhile since I read book one (Ever the Hunted). This one picks up right
where it left off though which was nice. I truly enjoyed how much of King Aodren`s perspective
we got. He was made out to be kind of a bad guy in book one so to get more of his side and story
in this novel made everything he was doing not seem as bad. He is a very vulnerable person and as
times it felt like Britta wasn't seeing it that way.
Although I do enjoy Cohen it was really hard not to ship Aodren and Britta together. Cohen
just sort of became this whiny errand boy who doted on Britta`s every word. Some parts of the
book seem to just be “busy work” in order to progress the storyline. Although that isn't a bad
thing there did seem to be a bit much in some areas.
I do look forward to picking up Once a King in the near future. Michaela has already read
it and enjoyed it.
TTFN,
