Six Scorched Roses (Crowns of Nyaxia)

Product Information

I'd die to know her personally and have her write little daily snippets just for me, because she's just that good. I have the softest spot for quotable authors, and she's a total champ in this department. If I’m being honest, the betrayal never felt like a true betrayal. I think it just allowed for a certain character to ignore where the true betrayal actually came from and the way Carissa Broadbent dissected that? Top tier.

Honestly, this is one of the BEST Beauty and the Beast retellings I had the absolute pleasure of reading in a long time. I am so happy that I got to experience these two and their journey and cannot wait to reunite with them all soon.

My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known.” Carissa Broadbent’s wiring truly is top-tier. I don’t usually get attached to novella characters as we don’t typically get to know them in detail. But I adore these two, Miss Lillith and Lord Vale. She said it so simply. Like it was just a truth, nothing to be judged or disagreed with. I knew that she believed it, and in this moment, I loved her fiercely for that. While The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the end of Oraya and Raihn's core story, wrapping up the Nightborn Duet, there are still 6 books total in the core Crowns of Nyaxia series. With book 3, we'll be moving to a new spotlight character and spending more time in the House of Shadow. More news on this coming very soon! If I haven't already, this is where I’ll lose a lot of you... This is really about personal preference, but “There she is” does not do it for me. When this line was used in the first book, it neither delighted nor irritated me. But the amount of times it was repeated in this book took me out of moments between our main characters that I would’ve otherwise been very invested in. A couple of other repeated lines were a bit cringe, too, but I do think there are many beautiful quotes throughout this book.

If you switched from a Rhysand girlie to a Cassian girlie, congrats, you will also go from a Raihn girlie to a Vale girlie. It is a canon event, I cannot interfere. plot-wise, this was left a lil open-ended in many areas so i'm wondering how everything is going to tie together now. and the ending gave me shivers. i'm super excited to know so many things now!! I loved the romance between Oraya and Raihn, they fought for each other and understood each other. The chemistry and sexual tension was amazing! The slow burn was so good and I loved their banter. There were so many steamy scenes that had me blushing and smiling! Afraid of you and what you could do to me. Afraid of the world that could kill you so easily. Afraid of myself, gifted with another fragile heart that I know I cannot keep. I dream about that sound.” His mouth was so close to my throat. I could feel his voice vibrate on my flesh, right against the scar that he’d left. “Do you know that?”There he is." He is perfect and I'd gladly bow for my powerful king. He is flawed and imperfect yet he tried his best for his kingdom even though they treated him as an usurper king and betrayed him. He proved all of them wrong. His growth in this book was commendable. He was so conflicted about his role as a Nightborn king and felt the burden of it because nobody was ready to accept him as a king but he appreciated his strengths and even his weakness and fought for his kingdom. And I loved how he was so patient with Oraya and made her feel safe and loved with his thoughtful and sweet gestures.
