RELEASE DATE: January 26th, 2026
Oh I’ve missed this world so much! I’ve ARC read for the first two as well, and I dont know how i would have waited for this to come out because the plot, the world, the characters?
I’ve not read before this way of splitting an overarching fantasy plot over several couples and interweaving them so much outside of contempory but it works so well – I NEED Tobias and Octavia’s book now! But I also cant wait for Kaspians, and I KNOW Edmund and Liliths is going to be so good so honestly I’m just waiting with baited breath for the next announcement of the new love story I’m going to be getting!
Each of the stories have felt so different, despite sharing the dark academia background, and while book two is still my favourite (Lila and Bastian are perfection!) this one takes us into the world of the witches, which i suspect we are going to see more of in liliths book too!
World – 4/5 – I love the little Greek myth references and wordbuilding details so much!
Romance – 4/5 – it’s not my favourite combination of tropes but the chemistry between them was amazing and I loved when she met his family! If this had been longer I think I would have loved them more because I would have seen more of their relationship.
Characters – 4/5 – I love it when all the characters are going to have their own books because it means we get a really complex cast and well I’ve already said in the main review how much I want the next love stories!
Plot – 3.5/5 – the plot wasn’t quite as strong in this one as the first two, I think it was more of a development of Kiara, Lila and Bellatrix interacting as Starcrossed Warriors than the dark twisty plots we’ve seen in the previous two books!
Romance Rating: Explicit – 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ multiple sex scenes throughout, they are spicy and a little step further than vanilla so it definitely has ratcheted up several notches from the closed door first one.
Violence Rating: Level 4
Content Warnings: sexual assault/physical assault by a previous boyfriend
Damsel in Delight
