the first two were really fun really addictive i don't really like the term guilty pleasure but that kind of feel you get when you know what that means more than likely that feeling you get towards something that's labeled guilty pleasure that's kind of sort of how i felt about the first two i devoured them
Lady Smoke (2019)
The Kaiser murdered Theodosia's mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo's country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess--a pet to toy with and humiliate for ten long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn't realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon. Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage--Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser's rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne. To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done. Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself.
This was definitely a bridge book where it sets up things that are gonna happen in the finale. There were some really sad developments and there were also some shocking moments though I will say that the shocking moments in this one we're less explosive and more like subtle shock factor if that makes any sense at all.
