Tuesday Reviews: Court of Claws

 Series: Blood of a Fae #2

Bound to a man she hates more than she ever thought possible...

Everything Morgan Pendragon knows and loves is gone as she wakes in the dangerous court of the Siabra. The man she was falling in love with is dead, and in his place is a man she barely knows. Surrounded by liars and knives in the dark, all Morgan wants to do is run the other way but Kairos Draven is determined to keep her by his side.

As Morgan and Draven's lives become even more irrevocably entwined, little do they know the sins of the past are coming for them both…

Another great book in the Blood of a Fae series by Briar Boleyn. Honestly, I enjoyed this book even more than I did Queen of Roses. Boleyn's skillful world-building effortlessly immerses readers in a richly layered universe, where mythical creatures, ancient prophecies, and corrupt and cruel kingdoms collide. With its well-crafted characters, intricate plot, and lushly descriptive prose, this book proves to be an unputdownable delight for fans of the fantasy genre.  

I would put this Camelot retelling in the same category as Throne of Glass.  There’s some level of spice there, but the romantic plot twists are on par with with Sarah J Maas. Draven and Morgan engulf the pages with the romantic tension between them.  Even without the twist and turns of their stories, I would keep coming back for more of their romance.

Court of Claws doesn't shy away from exploring complex themes, such as power, loyalty, and sacrifice. The emotional depth of the story adds another layer of resonance to the overall narrative. As secrets unfold and alliances shift, readers will find themselves engrossed in the web of deception and hidden agendas. The plot is skillfully interwoven with twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the very end.

And that ending… all I can say is… I need book 3 like… stat.
