Was I feeling sick to my stomach before the royal couple finally reunited? Yes。 They were crying, I was crying (internally)。。。I also realised that I hate reading action scenes, enough that I would prefer a tldr (oops?)。 Glad this plotline didn't drag into 3 books and will be tuning into Jonas's story hehe。 Was I feeling sick to my stomach before the royal couple finally reunited?

Lorraina Lisowski,

Christine Foulds,
This a brilliant finish to the duology。 I actually enjoyed this one even more than the Ever King primarily due to Erik needing to find its way back to Livia as well as building a relationship with her friends and family。 The pacing was great, the romance perfectly placed, and the ending set up the next book whilst finishing the story of the Ever satisfyingly。 If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll also get a cute short bonus chapter。 Overall, it was a great series that I'd highly recommend it This a brilliant finish to the duology。 I actually enjoyed this one even more than the Ever King primarily due to Erik needing to find its way back to Livia as well as building a relationship with her friends and family。 The pacing was great, the romance perfectly placed, and the ending set up the next book whilst finishing the story of the Ever satisfyingly。 If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll also get a cute short bonus chapter。 Overall, it was a great series that I'd highly recommend it to any romantasy reader。 。。。more

Absolutely stunning! As always LJ Andrew’s has delivered a world full of characters who steal your heart! I was enthralled from page one and this story will live rent free in my head forever! I can’t wait for the Mist Thief!
Samantha Gipson,
Erik and Livia 🫶 loved every minute of this read。 What a perfect ending to one of my favorite duologys。 I’m so sad it’s over but I cannot wait for the Mist Theif!

Really enjoyed this duology of Erik and Livia。 Did I devour this within 24 hours of release? Yes, I did。 Enemies to Lovers, villain gets the girl, pirates, magic, fae, elves, witches, violence, politics… I mean if you want Romantasy it’s all here。 I generally have very little patience with the main characters being separated but this story kept great pace, and the actions during the separation had purpose and moved the story deeper and along quite nicely。 This duo is made even better by the all Really enjoyed this duology of Erik and Livia。 Did I devour this within 24 hours of release?

Dawn,
OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES!!!I started reading The Broken Kingdoms, then happily read The Ever King。 Loved the way all of the characters developed, especially seeing how Erik Bloodsinger grew into a proper mate for Livia Ferus。 And gotta give it to Rorik, he, along with Jonas and Sander, were definitely comic relief。 Can’t wait til June for The Mist Theif
Kathy Hansen,
Gosh, I absolutely loved this book。 It was honestly the best conclusion to The Ever Seas duo-logy。 However, be ready for a roller coaster of emotions from the beginning。 I most definitely found myself saying aww, oh no, ahhh, and holding my breath multiple times throughout this book! And although there were more characters to follow than the last book, I was still totally invested in each of their stories。 I also loved seeing Livia’s character development。 Although she did get a little bit dark, Gosh, I absolutely loved this book。 It was honestly the best conclusion to The Ever Seas duo-logy。 However, be ready for a roller coaster of emotions from the beginning。 I most definitely found myself saying aww, oh no, ahhh, and holding my breath multiple times throughout this book!

The way he fought for, protected and loved Livia, melted my heart。 I was so happy to see him get the family he was so wrongfully robbed of as a child。 Lastly, I really loved seeing more of the earth fae and learning a little bit more about them。 Honestly, the storyline, the villain, the characters, the love story and just everything about this book were so perfectly written! LJ Andrew’s is an amazing author, and I would easily recommend this book to anyone that is willing to listen! 。。。more

XRebbot,
Once the "will they won't they" gets out of the way, it becomes all about the world and the political intrigue。 And this particular story, while should be 100% my cuppa tea, is just not doing it for me。 Feels a bit fragmented and hard to care about the blight when clearly the ending will be happy -- after all, they have the superhero team at their hands right away。DNF at 63% but might come back Once the "will they won't they" gets out of the way, it becomes all about the world and the political intrigue。 And this particular story, while should be 100% my cuppa tea, is just not doing it for me。 Feels a bit fragmented and hard to care about the blight when clearly the ending will be happy -- after all, they have the superhero team at their hands right away。DNF at 63% but might come back 。。。more
Katie Roberts,
This was everything I had hoped it would be。 It had me tense and stressed for a lot of it, but I loved how it drew on so much of the feel of the Broken Kingdoms series。Valen, as expected, was angry and then loyal。 But I loved having him there。 We got to know the cousins of the earth Fae much better in this book which was fun。 I love Livia and Erik and how they work as a team。 It's a fun, and intense read。 Can't wait for the mist thief!

3。5⭐️- I think the first book is better。 This one felt like there was too much going on and I just didn’t feel as drawn in as I did during the first book。 I am excited for the Mist Thief though!

⭐4,5Me ha gustado, aunque si que es verdad que The Ever King me ha gustado un pelín más。 Lo único que de lo que no soy muy fan, es de las escenas de peleas en guerras, pero aun así esto tampoco es un factor limitante en este libro puesto que, a pesar de que hay varios capítulos de esto, no son excesivamente extensos。 Algo que me ha agradado bastante es ver como (view spoiler)[los fae de tierra y mar se han acabado uniendo y creando amistades, aunque la verdad sea dicha, me habría gustado ver alg ⭐4,5Me ha gustado, aunque si que es verdad que The Ever King me ha gustado un pelín más。 Lo único que de lo que no soy muy fan, es de las escenas de peleas en guerras, pero aun así esto tampoco es un factor limitante en este libro puesto que, a pesar de que hay varios capítulos de esto, no son excesivamente extensos。 Algo que me ha agradado bastante es ver como (view spoiler)[los fae de tierra y mar se han acabado uniendo y creando amistades, aunque la verdad sea dicha, me habría gustado ver alguna interacción más entre Stieg y Erik (hide spoiler)]。Como último apunte a esta reseña, decir que tengo unas ganas tremendas de leer The Mist Thief que es la historia sobre Jonas y (view spoiler)[ Skidan?(no estoy muy segura de como era el nombre exacto, solo que es una badass muy poderosa que actualmente no tiene sentimientos por lo sucedido en The Ever Queen) (hide spoiler)]。 Tengo especial curiosidad como se va a dar esta relación después de que (view spoiler)[Ski apuñalara previamente a Sander (gemelo de Jonas) porque pensaba que iba a hacer daño a su abuelo (Sander sigue vivo a si que no problem) (hide spoiler)]。 。。。more

Hannah,
Lowkey devastated because I feel like this book had hardcore second book syndrome 😭 I struggled with pacing in this book; I struggled with the storyline。 Everything was desperate and yet all worked out in the end。 I guess I wanted more tragedy before it got all sugarcoated… There were a couple times the writing was a bit confusing and I didn’t totally understand what was happening which is also a bummer bc I’ve liked everything else this author has put out。 So bummed about this one。 Still much l Lowkey devastated because I feel like this book had hardcore second book syndrome 😭 I struggled with pacing in this book; I struggled with the storyline。 Everything was desperate and yet all worked out in the end。 I guess I wanted more tragedy before it got all sugarcoated… There were a couple times the writing was a bit confusing and I didn’t totally understand what was happening which is also a bummer bc I’ve liked everything else this author has put out。 So bummed about this one。 Still much love for Erik and liv!

i love these characters so much😭❤️
Tee,
It was good but felt like the story dragged at times。 Past and future stories were alluded to which just made this story feel unfinished。
Lisa Mengel,
I was so excited for this book after devouring book one but it just felt lacklustre。 I DNF’d it at 53% after picking it up a few times to try and power through but unfortunately this will be my first DNF for 2024 and my journey with bloodsinger ends here 😭

"What do you not understand?

Erik will do whatever it takes to save her。 He is even willing to go to her homeland to get the help of her father, the man who murdered his。 However, when he arrives he is met with anger and hate。 He is running out of time and is desperate to save her。 Erik and Livia have to work harder to return to one another while a battle is brewing。 There can only be one Ever King。 This story had me crying, swooning, and laughing。 I fell into their world and suddenly 200 pages had passed by。 The found family trope is so well done in this book。 I adore each and every one of them。 I will be happy to read a story that focuses on any of the side characters。 If you love a book where a true villain will do vicious things to get his love back, then this one is for you! “I would follow your darkness, every ugly truth, across the skies and seas。” 。。。more
