They are both strong and flawed, and they-even more strikingly-embrace those qualities in themselves and each other. Twining themes of self-awareness and the duality of human nature, Hodge succeeds in creating a refreshingly human and real protagonist and love interest. A rather dramatic first encounter between Nyx and Ignifex belies what comes after-an intricate and arresting tale well worth readers’ time. As Nyx unravels the truth behind the isolation of her land, as well as the very existence of both Ignifex and Shade, it becomes clear that only when she accepts her feelings can she face the truth: She must choose between following her heart and fulfilling her duty. ![]() ![]() But this is no fairy-tale romance, and Nyx remains true to her promise, making several attempts on Ignifex’s life that only succeed in entertaining him and eliciting flirtatious responses.

There is plenty of the prehistoric, though, with a unique setting taking place 40,000 years ago and featuring humans beyond just Homo sapiens. I’m admittedly not well read in romance, but for a book billed as a prehistoric fantasy romance there was little in the way of actual romance for the first part of the novel. But between the worldbuilding and some confusing scenes, I ended up not finishing this one. The actual writing was fairly engaging, and I had no trouble flying through pages. ![]() Because apparently salt water is bad and the ship had so much drinkable water on hand they could waste it on meaningless tasks. Then there was a scene in which a character’s job was to scrub a middle deck inside a giant ship to replace the salt water on the deck with fresh water. The kingdom appears to be called “the Kingdom”. The map at the front of the book (which is quite pretty) shows places like Second City and Third City, located on the opposite side of the continent from The Far East. The worldbuilding seems too simplistic-and while this may be improved later or due to a POV character’s limited knowledge, it was enough to throw me off. However, this fell short in a couple of key ways. A throne that needs retaking? Always a good time. ![]() ![]() A raised-from-the-dead warlock with a sassy demon trapped in the gems embedded in his arm? Very fun.
