I will definitely continue to read each book in this series as they come out.Īlthough fantasy romances are not necessarily my preference, I do have a weakness for Barbarians and Warlords with cavemen tendencies.

This one is much lighter, does not contain sexual violence towards women, the relationship between the mc’s is much more lovey-dovey, plus this is shorter and the plot is much simpler. Yes, it is similar to Golden Dynasty by KA but only in a superficial sense. I needed something with a touch of fantasy and romance. It was a good, quick read, I would recommend as I’ve enjoyed it. I guess I can chalk it up to him being ignorant of the fact that foreigners didn’t know much about Dakkar. I get that if he explained stuff there would be no book - but still. Last time I wasn’t as taken with him (I kinda wanted to punch him for the audacity) but now (I still wanna punch him on principle) I’m swayed by pretty words he says - though his actions are shitty at times.Īlso, can I just ask - how do you expect to live with someone and marry them - be forever with them if you don’t speak to them and explain why you do certain things or why your culture is a certain way. Reading it with more knowledge of the world in which is set and knowing what the Dakkari words the hero says mean- is clearly a different experience. Just wanted a refresher of the first book since I’ve read the second about 3 times but I forgot most of the story from this one.
