Rule of the Aurora King

WOW! I want to say I couldn't expect better after the first, but I was wrong. This one was even better! This one had me all over the place. Again, devoured. Nisha left no crumbs with this one again! I won't keep y'all too long, so I'll be quick.

First off, I want to thank Nisha, again, for gracing us with this wonderful book & second, for using words the readers want to read/see in sex scenes, especially in fantasy romance books. Those would be cock, pussy, clit, wet, thrust, back of throat, swallow. You got my heart!

• Lor: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Continues to grow and is still that bad-ass I love from the first book.
• Nadir: 🥵 👅👅👅 Listen, if you know, you know. I love him so much!
• The Aurora King: F that hoe!
• Atlas: F that hoe, too!

This book had it all for me. A strong FMC & MMC. Tension building & building & building. Romance. A MMC obsessed with the FMC. Sex, spice, tension (again), regret. "Say you're mine." It was giving shifter/wolf mates AND I'm here for it. I'm here for it all. Nadir's so smart, too. He's actually very cunning to be plotting against his dad and coming up with plans. Only complain is I wish Lor would come up with more plans instead of looking to him or her brother, Tristan, but she does in the end. So I was happy with that. She does have very limited knowledge of the world, so it's understandable she is relaying on someone who knows the world more. The tension and spice between them is hot, hot, hot. That BJ had me looking like 🤤🥵.

The world was very intriguing! We got to know more about the different kingdoms & especially The Aurora. We also got to see some histoy of Serce and Wolf in parallel to Lor and Nadir. Let me just say, Wolf and Serce were hot & crazy. Wolf was bending Serce over that table, and I had to take a minute because I was squealing. I love a man that backs his woman. Even when she's trying to burn down the world. haha

Buckle in for a wild ride again with this one because very second is pretty crazy. I enjoyed every second of it. Am I happy about the ending? NO! I need more now, Nisha! I can't believe we have to wait til 2024. I'm waiting patiently for the next book in this series. It was finger-licking good, hunny.

babes, what in the acotar dupe was that?!???

I'm somewhat angry to have read this - and wasted time on it.
The first instalment was okay, somewhat predictable, nothing novel; but still entertaining enough. Now the second instalment... WTF
My major problem with this book: it pretends to be plot-driven while having what felt like at least 50% spice. Maybe I was naive going into it but I did not expect that much spice scenes while it's supposed to be plot. And those spice scenes are... bad. Both as in written badly and even if I could see past that, it's supposed to be the best sex ever and the description is of a normal BJ or something.
There has to be at least one nickname and of all words it is either “inmate” (and at some point when overheard explained with aforementioned spice, specifically role play) and it kept giving me the ick, or her true identity within the grander scheme of things - and if someone overheard this, you're all dead! Stupid.
Now to the little plot that we were gifted with. Again nothing novel, but making somewhat sense in the development. The love relation was unfortunately (besides the spice) pretty repetitive of getting it on - and then rejection “to focus on what matters.” Our FMC keeps emphasising that everything she does, she does for her siblings. Well then stop telling me that and actually do something?
Overall, I am seriously contemplating if I should continue. Having read some reviews, my opinion on this book is not alone and judging from reviews of the third instalment, it is not as bad. Maybe I'll have a peek if I have nothing else to read... (TBR laughing in the distance)

This series is UNDERRATED

The latest installment in its series, marks a significant leap forward in terms of writing style compared to its predecessor. The author has evidently honed their craft, displaying a more refined approach to narrative and character development. The prose is noticeably more polished, with better pacing and a clearer sense of direction. However, despite these improvements, the book still falls short of hitting the mark necessary to earn a wholehearted recommendation.

The story, while more cohesively structured, continues to grapple with issues that have plagued the series from the start. Character motivations remain somewhat opaque, and plot developments often feel forced or incongruent. Moreover, the world-building, although improved, still lacks the depth and originality that could have made this series stand out in a crowded genre.

In conclusion, while Rule of Aurora King demonstrates a commendable improvement in writing style, it ultimately does not elevate the series to a must-read status. For avid readers of the genre, it might be worth a look, but for the casual reader, this series remains, regrettably, missable.

The first book was good. This one was BETTER and I loved that! I enjoyed reading the first book but THIS one I kept reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open
