Dearest reader, if your heart thrums for a slow burn, immersive romance, your heart stutters to an enemies to lovers trope, your rebellion kindles at an insecure royal finally stepping into her own power, with myths, Goddesses and a murky mystery ties two kingdoms with beliefs based on justice and mercy, and magical powers stemming from a lake... if dark smirky and thoughtful heroes sing to you, and ghosts make their presence felt strongly, atmospheric vibes and a murder mystery to boot, sounds like a Saturday afternoon read, then this MUST be on your spooky Halloween TBR!
This book gave me mistborn vibes in the misinformation stemmed in beliefs, shades of iconoclast in the Princess Merridan and a sensitive, thoughtful Prince Phoenix, replete with misunderstandings, faux pas, and the ache of waiting to confess your feelings, it had a devastating effect whilst being read. The set of secondary characters were absolutely lust worthy - may i just say i have never felt a dead character more strongly in a tale - Von, with all the enigmatic charisma, hit me hard! Fayette and Eva were the femme fatale warriors, unapologetic and absolute in their opinions, and the whole vibe of Lux and Nox / Roth and Nova, very well played indeed!
I LOVED this stunner from Alexandra Kennington and I polished this book off in 24 hours as I couldn't stand the wait!
My Lux and Nox thank yous to Berkley XO and Netgalley and my most ardent admiration to Alexandra Kennington for this moving, symphonic experience!
