Review:
The Ippos
King is the third book in consummate fantasy author Grace Draven's Wraith Kings
series. In this book we see Serovek and Anhuset team up to take Megiddos body
back to his fellow monks. During the trip they are attacked and betrayed while
also falling in love.
This book
was well-written and fast-paced, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That being said
it is a very dense book, a lot of things happen and the book takes its time
getting to them. There are some times when I feel I had to slog through the
book a bit. Despite its minor shortcomings overall this was a fantastic
addition to the series.
I love
Anhuset and Serovek as characters and as a couple. Serovek is charming,
flirtatious, and brave, while Anhuset is a fierce femme fatale. Anhuset's pride
and confidence waver during Serovek's flirty banter. It was fun seeing such a
tough character soften and grow throughout the book. Her feelings for Serovek
make her relatable.
While I
genuinely enjoy most romantasy I read I find they can be lacking in depth and
maturity. Grace Draven's writing is such a breath of fresh air. It's a nice
change and I wish there were more books with relationships like the ones she
writes. The romance she writes is at times more developed, mature, and deeper
than what I typically read. If you're looking for impassioned romantasy then I
recommend Grace Dravens work.
