Week 33 Review: Consort of Fire

From Goodreads:

From cult-favorite writing duo Kit Rocha comes a fiery novel set in a lush fantasy world brimming with ancient magic, dangerous secrets, and erotic connections.

For three thousand years, an ancient dragon god has protected the borders of the Sheltered Lands. In return, he makes only one demand: every one hundred years, the mortal ruler must send their heir to serve as his consort…for as long as they can survive.

Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the thirty-first consort to be sacrificed to the monster who guards the mountain passes. She is young, beautiful—and she has three secrets.

First: she's a disposable orphan trained in seduction.

Second: her handmaid, Zanya, is an assassin and the only person she has ever loved.

Third—and most dangerous: she's cursed. Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to murder the Dragon in his bed. If they fail, the mortal king's curse will steal not just Sachi's life, but her very soul.

The Dragon has only one secret: he is nothing like what they have been told. And he will do whatever it takes to possess them both.

My Review:
Oh, I had a fantastic time reading this book! The whole concept sounded really great, and I had to learn more about these characters who were put in this situation, and of course this world that has a dragon in it! And it was so great to read! 

I've previously read one of their other books, which was a dystopia, but this book is a fantasy, so I was excited to see how they would tell this story! Reading about this world with this magic, was so riveting to read! I needed to know more! 

The whole set up with this dragon god, and the lady being sent to be his consort, and her handmaiden, and all of their secrets? I loved it and was intrigued, and had to keep turning the pages to see what this story would bring! Each piece of information, every moment of tension, I needed it! 

Wow, it was shocking, where this story went! That was such a impactful ending, all that came out of it, and definitely a cliff hanger in terms of where we left these characters! I need to know how it's going to resolve, what's going to happen next, all the details! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!
