Siren & Scion (Mages of the Wheel, #3)

i don’t know what happened to this book, it was slow, boring, and i couldn’t feel the chemistry between the love interests at all. if you compare them to makram and naime or aysel and bashir they’d look as bland as flour. the romance has been so swoony in the last two books, this one was just…there.
i’ve been loving this series so much, the worldbuilding is amazing and the characters are beautiful, but this one?? kinda fell off.
i was excited for siren & scion. after all, it talks about being hidden in an enemy kingdom to rescue prisoners and freeing slaves. it had the found family and a cute smuggler with a heart of gold, all the things that were supposed to make this a GREAT book. i thought it was gonna have me at the edge of my seat the whole time, but it didn’t. it took me SO LONG to read this, i could not just get into it?? it wasn’t TERRIBLE, but it’s definitely not my favorite of the series.
i had to claw my way to the end cause i want to read the following books and i knew i had to read this one to read the rest. it’s the only reason why i kept going, or i would’ve dropped it long ago. i think i’m so harsh to it cause i loved the other books SO MUCH and i had such high expectations for this.
don’t get me wrong, amara and cassian have really sweet and beautiful moments together, after all, it’s still the same amazing author that wrote those scenes and there’s nothing i adore more than the worshipper male characters she writes about. cassian’s words were beautiful and thoughtful, he was just such a romantic character, you could tell he was an artist. i liked how amara was so confident in her own body even when she was afraid of herself. how she achieved every goal she set, saw what she wanted and took it.
either way, i never felt the connection between cassian and amara. you could tell that they were going to be lovers, of course, but i never felt the tension and yearning i felt with the other books. it bothered me how LONG it took amara to get ahold of herself and her magic. more than the 70% of the book went through and she was still fighting it and letting everything go to absolute hell when she could’ve helped. everything was dragged too long but her joining the circle was so rushed? it didn’t sit right with me. i do want to see more about djar though, i loved his character so much.
to be honest, i wanted to give it 2 stars instead of 3 but i love the author’s writing too much, and after all, it was a pretty good book. maybe i just wasn’t in the right time to read it. who knows. what i do know is that i can’t wait for the next one.
