Olivia Wildenstein
Adult Fantasy
I meant to capture the prince’s heart… and ended up with a king’s.
My desire to sit upon the Lucin throne led me to revive an ancient, winged monarch; one I deemed a friend until that friend duped and imprisoned me.
Lorcan claims he’s holding me captive for my own safety, but then he also claims I belong to him. Slumbering for five centuries has evidently given the Crow King severe delusions.
We may share an unfortunate mind-link, but we are still masters of our own destiny, and I intend to steer mine away from the Sky Kingdom and its prophecies . . . away from him.
I quickly find out there is no escaping the possessive male. In all honesty, I’m no longer certain I want to.

My Opinion
(4 / 5) Ok, here I am cruising through this series! Which is not easy with the large page counts. I’m still loving the writing and story but didn’t love this one as much as the first.
I really enjoyed the location change to the Sky Kingdom and all the intrigue that brought. The crows are a fabulous kingdom and I liked learning the inner-workings.
But I have to get on my soap box. Some won’t agree with me but here it goes; She. Said. No. Aaah, huge trigger for me. I know triggers, this is what I have a blog for. This is one of my triggers! So when Fallon repeatedly said no to her pursuer and he pushed her (whether mentally or physically), I just cringed and lost all respect for him. No, just no. However, the second she started having feelings for him too– Boom! My opinion changed just like that; Ok, if Fallon has feelings, then run with them girl! But until that point I was not impressed at all with this character who was supposed to be amazing. He became amazing after she changed her feelings but I really struggled until then.
With my soapbox aside (phew!) the story moved at a great pace and I was entertained. I do not love that it left on such a huge cliffhanger, sigh, but I get it. I just can’t read it yet cause I need to get back to my ARCs. But I’ve already downloaded book 3!
General content summary: Possible SPOILER alert; the intimacy is a lot. Book 1 had some, but this one definitely got way more into the details. If this is something that makes you uncomfortable, keep it in mind before you read it. It was a bit too much for me at times but other than that I enjoyed the book.
