I want to talk about it! I want to yell out the window to read The Aurelian Cycle 📣 I am currently reading Flamefall (Yes, I will stop the video at some point), and it's been a while a book has me this hooked up. I remember only during my teen years to be this invested and passionate about characters in a book. It's incredible the tension trauma and yearning Rosaria Munda is able to convey to her readers, and the sentencing is never too simple. Never does she take us for stupid, which can't be said for other YA/borderline adult fantasy authors. Just love ❤
I agree with most of what you said. Power is the best character, Dilos perspective could have been cut (especially because his voice actor in the audio books was BY FAR the worst of the actors), the character work was great. And what I though was really well done was the problem in the third book. What about the Goliathan? Such a simple question that carried all those huge implications. I thouht the overwhelming threat of Freyda was well presented. I don't agree with your analysis of Annie's choice in the end. I felt the reasoning for the policy of not mixing job and career made perfect sense in that universe. HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD: I absolutely hate when books pull the "character "dies" in book one to come back in a later book" trope. That is my personal biggest drawback of this series
I agree, the Goliathan was interesting! Freyda was really well done, too. I love that the side characters don't feel like "just side characters." They're real people with their own motivations too! I'm glad Annie's choice worked well for you! It might be more of my personal bias that I really feel strongly that women should be able to balance both work and motherhood if that's what they want to do. I also believe families are really important and are usually what bring us the most happiness and fulfillment in life.(: ON SPOILERS: I get it, that's a tough trope to pull off. It didn't bug me a ton, but it also wasn't my favorite aspect of the book.

Does this book have romance? (Hetero)
It does.
First!
