Love kills kingdoms…
Back in Grim’s castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two.
Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.
As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle’s final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.
With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world—or destroy it.

So, I finally got around to reading Skyshade. I was too lazy to go grab my copy from upstairs, so I borrowed the ebook from our local library the other day 😂😂.
I enjoyed being back in this world, with these characters. This book picks up where book 2 left off. Isla felt betrayed - and Grim would do anything for her forgiveness. But could she forgive him for everything he's done?
The gate of not only Isla but all of Nightshade and Lightlark - the two kingdoms at war with one another - hinged on Isla's heart which was split in two. She loved both rulers, but was a traitor to both - and was destined to kill one. Isla was either dragged to save the world or destroy it.
I loved seeing now of Grim again, he is definitely my favorite character out of all of them. Overall the pacing was decent. Isla worked at trying to better understand the prophecy, she didn't want to be a monster, but instead wanted to save both of the men she loved. She warred with her feelings. And tried to better understand herself -& her past too. But the war, and storms that ravished the kingdom weren't the only dangers they had to face.
Overall, I enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to see what is next for Isla, Grim and Oro.
4⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
