Synopsis

With the plot against them foiled and the city of Qi-Katai in safe hands, newlywed and tentative lovers Velasin and Caethari have just begun to test the waters of their relationship. But the wider political ramifications of their marriage are still playing out across two nations, and all too soon, they're summoned north to Tithena's capital city, Qi-Xihan, to present themselves to its monarch.

With Caethari newly invested as his grandmother's heir and Velasin's old ghosts gnawing at his heels, what little peace they've managed to find is swiftly put to the test. Cae's recent losses have left him racked with grief and guilt, while Vel struggles with the disconnect between instincts that have kept him safe in secrecy and what an open life requires of him now. Pursued by unknown assailants and with Qi-Xihan's court factions jockeying for power, Vel and Cae must use all the skills at their disposal to not only survive, but thrive.

Because there's more than one way to end an alliance, and more than one person who wants to see them fail . . . and they will resort to murder if needed.

With my mid-youth crisis all said and done / I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young (Jackie and Wilson – Hozier). Let’s start by ignoring those five beautiful stars up there for a second, because I think it’s important to know that this wasn’t exactly the easiest book to read. I......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on December 05, 2023

All the Hidden Paths left me feeling conflicted. I had a lot of fun with it and read the entire book over the span of 18 hours. It was literally the first thing I did when I woke up in the morning. I had a very similar reading experience with A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. These books are compuls......more

Goodreads review by Ali on May 24, 2024

Cae & Vel 2: Assassination Nation Wherein our boys traverse harsh landscapes, stare at each other longingly, and are almost murdered like seven different times. There is an obnoxious twerp who somehow manages to also be endearing; a new horsey pal; a lot of titles you’ll get confused; oops accidental......more

Goodreads review by Tammie on December 31, 2023

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review! I'm a bit conflicted on this one - at face value, I did enjoy it, probably as much as I did the first book, but I'm just not entirely sure it was necessary. The plot beats felt very similar to the first book, and......more

Goodreads review by Kit (Metaphors and Moonlight) on February 06, 2024

Much like the first, this was a long book (almost 20 hours in audio), but it flew by because I enjoyed every minute of it! There was so much emotional struggle between these two men who wanted and cared about each other so much but just didn't know how to deal with their grief and trauma getting in t......more
