Didn't think I'd like it and put off reading this series until the end of my KA ride on my e reader. And what a great surprise! KA weaves her intense relationship plot along with the alternate magic universe and does it well. (However, hearing the heroine constantly say "cool" and "awesome" gets tedious really quickly though!) Yes, this book has its share of violence and violation, but this is this savage Game of Thrones-y world, and I praise KA for having the guts to do it and handling it well.  This is real life and approve or no, that's not the point. Go read Disney.Our hero was wonderful, in my opinion one of the best KA alpha males ever. When this king falls in love-- wow. Circe had a lot to deal with of course, but i found she comes off a bit flippant and pouty off and on...deal with it maturely girl, you're the Queen now!  This was an engrossing read complete with lots of character growth, HEAT, intimacy- plenty of great moments of two people striving to build a satisfying life together against wacky odds. A bit disappointed with Circe's time back in Seattle- could have had more interesting interaction with her alt universe twin, but oh well. Kudos to KA for pulling it off! Lots of attention to setting and clothing detail to keep us intrigued and connected.There is no typical driving plot action with the mystery bad guy on the loose coming after our heroine in usual KA fashion, but there's plenty going on at every turn, great supporting characters, so read on and enjoy!
