Entwined

Wow....that was a rush! I am still reeling from it all. Poor Liz had so much thrown at her and I feel horrible for her. Liz had to make some tough choices and I'm not sure I would've made the same choices she did. SPOILERS!!! Don't read any further if you don't want any spoilers. I will keep some mystery but it's darn near impossible to leave a review without some. My heart breaks for Liz. It's like she lost both Axel and Azar even though he ended up being alive after Gideon's epic betrayal. I thought he would betray her but not that life shattering. I used to feel bad for him but not anymore. He stopped her heart and that could've killed her accidentally. He made a bad choice. The ending feels like Spiderman End Game. MJ forgets all about Spiderman/Peter Parker but Peter Parker has to live with all the memories of them. Liz did it to help everyone and sacrificed the bond to Azar for the greater good of all the blessed. Azar didn't want to forget her at all. I can't wait for book 3!

As always, Bridget E Baker has crafted a beautiful story with great world building and characters. We get to see things from Axel’s side as well as Liz’s as the story continues, which I really enjoyed. I definitely was bawling toward the end of the story because her characters have such depth you can really feel their emotions in the moment. I am eagerly anticipating the next book!!!

I love the development and action that came with this story. And the twist at the end had my jaw on the floor. I CANNOT WAIT for the next one. Great characters, great story, and very unique— which is nice to see when so many other fantasy novels feel like copycats of each other. Five stars!
