Week 47 Review: Fated Blades

From Goodreads:

An uneasy alliance between warring families gets heated in this otherworldly novella from bestselling author Ilona Andrews.

At first glance, the planet Rada seems like a lush paradise. But the ruling families, all boasting genetically enhanced abilities, are in constant competition for power―and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. For generations, the powerful families have pushed and pulled each other in a dance for dominance.

Until a catastrophic betrayal from within changes everything.

Now, deadly, disciplined, and solitary leaders Ramona Adler and Matias Baena must put aside their enmity and work together in secret to prevent sinister forces from exploiting universe-altering technology. Expecting to suffer through their uneasy alliance, Ramona and Matias instead discover that they understand each other as no one in their families can―and that their combined skills may eclipse the risks of their forbidden alliance.

As the two warriors risk their lives to save their families, they must decide whether to resist or embrace the passion simmering between them. For now, the dance between their families continues―but just one misstep could spell the end of them both.

My Review:
I of course loved reading this book! I love their writing so much, and this world of the Kinsmen is so interesting, though we so far have only visited it in chunks! I loved getting to know Matias and Ramona, and their dealings, given that they're in opposing families! 

One thing that I didn't know about this series was that it was their take on various romance tropes, from arranged marriage, the meek assistant, to now soul mates, and I didn't know that, and I love that about this series! 

The feud between Matias and Ramona's families has been on-going for many generations, but for them, hasn't erupted in a while. But when their spouses work together to steal from both families competing projects, Matias and Ramona have to work together, and I loved seeing them work out their differences! 

But that epilogue? That was just utterly hilarious, I loved how they sprung their marriage on them, that was just epic and wonderful plotting on their part! I'm just glad that they've healed the rift between them, what a power they'll be, working together!

This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait for more from this series!
