We'll rip apart the worlds that subjugated both of us, and from the ashes we'll build something new.

Okay i kinda... love him?! RAIHN APOLOGIST OKAY ✋️ He is SUCH a good book bf- so obsessed with her? ✅️ Will burn the world down for her? ✅️ HOT? ✅️✅️ I also love how he's a brutal vampire and will kill for her, but then can also be so unexpectedly sweet 🤭🤭 And literally everytime he said "There she is" he had me SWOONINGGG 😩🤭🤌🦋

The writing and storytelling was great, I felt like I was experiencing every event and emotion that the character felt. The writing was descriptive and easy to follow. The ending was so good! I'm glad that Oraya and Raihn got the ending that they deserved. I can't wait to read the next book! While The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the end of Oraya and Raihn's core story, wrapping up the Nightborn Duet, there are still 6 books total in the core Crowns of Nyaxia series. With book 3, we'll be moving to a new spotlight character and spending more time in the House of Shadow. More news on this coming very soon! I am queen just as much as he is king. When we’ve reclaimed our kingdom, I intend to rule beside him as such.” The pacing because of the chapter drags from time to time. I truthfully fell more in love with the second half of this one. I wanted to take him far away from this mess and keep him somewhere safe and maybe beat some sense into Oraya too, for him I'd choose violence anyday.

i don't think this book had to be quite as long as it was, but it didn't really drag or feel in excess so i'm not saying that critically, more as a lukewarm observation.

When they say there’s a fine line between love and hate, these two encompassed that. The slow-burn romance between them was the sweetest kind of torture. Every interaction between them had me on the edge of my bed. I was tense. I was pining for them! I could not get enough of them. Maybe the king always knew that his greatest love would be his ruination. Maybe he knew it the moment he met her.

Raihn also has to convince Oraya that he is on her side. That together they can create something worthy of their dreams, protecting humans and not only vampires. However, this book elevated it to new and better heights and Carissa Broadbent built upon the foundation of the first book so beautifully! I can’t fault it.She said it so simply. Like it was just a truth, nothing to be judged or disagreed with. I knew that she believed it, and in this moment, I loved her fiercely for that. this book was pure cunt! the passion!! the electricity!! i love this series to the depths of my soul. i was a completely different bitch prior to reading this series. i can’t comprehend that none of it was real and that i’m simply expected to move on with my life 😖💔 THAT WAS SOO GOOD 🤩🤩 I was super excited for this after LOVING the first book- and when I tell you Carissa Broadbent DELIVERED- She may be becoming a favourite author bc I freaking ATE this book up 😩😩🤌🤌
