World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...
A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.
A King thought long dead and long forgotten.
In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

Slow to start but once it gets going, whew! The banter in this book is great between the 2 main characters, and I loved the angle of them dealing with trauma and family sacrifices in different ways.
Diana is a hell of a relatable FMC for those who are older siblings and have had to make tough choices and decisions to keep their younger siblings safe and happy. Liam is relatable to anyone who suffers with PTSD, anxiety, depression, guilt, and a tendency to push others away when hurting.
I cannot deal with the ending oh my god I do not accept it and will be starting the second one as soon as I finish this review. I give it 4/5 stars only because I was about 25% of the way through the book before it really drew me in... it was too slow of a beginning burn for me. Once it picked up though, 5 stars!
Não sabia bem o que esperar ao começar ao começar este livro, mas fui surpreendida. É um verdadeiro slow burn, e no início custou um bocado ficar investida na história, mas à medida que avancei nos capítulos, isso mudou. A relação complexa entre a Dianna e o Liam, cheia de rancores antigos, forced proximity e forced aliances foi muito bem construída e o enemies to lovers teve o desenvolvimento perfeito, tornando cada momento de ligação e conflito genuíno e envolvente. Gostei muito da dinâmica e química deles os dois, e são uma prova de como os slow burns são superiores!
Amei a Dianna, ela é uma verdadeira morally grey character, que faz tudo ao seu alcance para proteger os seus sem arrependimentos chatos e irrelevantes para a história. Estou muito curiosa para ver o seu desenvolvimento no próximo livro, tendo em conta os acontecimentos do final do livro (😢) e também como o Liam, que é kinda a golden retriever character, vai lidar com tudo isso.
Not easy at the start but once you read through the world building part, it's simply amazing!
