Review: The Unbound Empire by Melissa Caruso

It’s always bittersweet when a series you enjoy comes to end. The Unbound Empire was no exception for me. The book was full of action, drama, dire threats against the empire, and balanced with great friendships (and yes, romances) that all left me a happy reader.

Review: The Defiant Heir by Melissa Caruso
