A review by endofmytrope
Ruins of Sea and Souls by Lisette Marshall

5.0

Ahem. May I have your attention please?

Do you enjoy badass magic systems, strong FMCs, court politics, found family, sexy-broody-winged fae, steamy and secret romance, beautiful and cohesive world building, and phenomenally written character growth? No? Then you will HATE this series. Move along.

Now, onto our review for those of you that have good taste.

I just wanted to give Creon a hug throughout this whole book. He is such a great MMC and he and Em just complement each other so beautifully, even when they are butting heads and working through their trauma together.

Their relationship really developed so much in this book; I am so impressed by how Lisette manages to hold on to just the right amount of tension and conflict without compromising the feeling of a realistic, loving relationship.

I LOVED getting to see all of our beloved side characters in one place and taking on adventures together. The love! The hate! The drama! Oh, my. Plus, we get a fabulous new little member of the family and I am OBSESSED.

This book had me gasping, crying, blushing, and stressed as fuck. The usual, beautiful emotional roller coaster Lisette writes into her books.

And that ENDING. LISETTE, THAT ENDING. I will be nervously pacing until the next book releases.

All that being said, go read the Fae Isles series because GOD you will want to get to this book ASAP.

*Thank you to Lisette and her team for the chance to read an ARC of this book. This review is entirely my own*
