Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know what it is about this series, but it has got me hooked.
I loved how Apollo was such a marshmallow for Cassandra—he may be a member of the Thirteen, but he was just so adoring of her. And Cassandra has seen some shit in her life, but she’s been focused on raising her younger sister and getting them a better life. Strong and protective, she’s a bad ass bitch. I thought that their strengths complemented each other well.
My only real complaint is that Radiant Sin felt more about the political intrigue and storyline building versus the relationship and romance. While yes, the steam was still exceptionally spicy, the romance felt lacking. Perhaps it’s because the characters already had history together and were basically already in love (SECRETLY!) that there was little development, and then it was “boom. ILU.”
Don’t get me wrong; Radiant Sin was still a very enjoyable read and I’m still 100% on board for the next in the series—ok but can I get a Zeus/Hera book plz—I just didn’t love it as much as I had the previous stories.

The powers of old are fading. A new Age is dawning.
Holy relics are all that remain of Theron’s sacred legend. Now those relics, the enchanted weapons forged by the Three-Faced Goddess to help Theron defeat the wicked Sorcerer Argoss, are disappearing.
Lysandro knows the village magistrate Marek is responsible, and he searches for proof disguised as the masked protector the Shadow of Theron. But when Marek wounds him with an accursed sword that shouldn’t exist, Lysandro must find a way to stop Marek from gaining any more artifacts created by the Goddess or her nemesis. The arrival of the beautiful newcomer Seraphine, with secrets of her own, only escalates their rivalry.
As the feud between Lysandro and Marek throws Lighura into chaos, a pair of priestesses seeks to recover the relics and return them to safekeeping. But the stones warn that Argoss is returning, and they must race to retrieve Theron’s most powerful weapon. But as they risk their lives for a legend, only one thing is certain. The three temples to the Goddess have been keeping secrets: not just from the faithful, but from each other.
Wheel of Time readers and fans of Sarah Maas, Saladin Ahmed, and Trudy Canavan will delight in this fantasy adventure duology infused with romance.
