** 4.5 'LONG LIVE THE KING' STARS **I guess I'm part of the unpopular opinion when it comes to wanting to read more about Trez and Selena, Assail and Sol, and Xcor and Layla. Although I intentionally thought the book was going to be ONLY about Wrath and Beth, I'm still super satisfied with how things turned out. Personally, I thought Beth and Wrath had enough parts throughout the entire book! Besides, how can you not love the other couples?! My feelings and emotions were literally all over the place when it came to those three couples. All in all, I thought the WARDen did a wonderful job with this one. Also, I freaking loved Beth's sense of humor!
Wrath and Beth
From the very beginning I have always thought their romance went a little bit too smoothly and in The King, their relationship definitely takes a turn. It's not always easy watching a couple you love and root for fight one another but it's necessary for them in order to grow stronger. Beth has been wanting a child after spending much of her time with Layla and Nalla (Bella and Z's child). However, Wrath just does not want to lose his mate to childbirth! Furthermore, Wrath is still struggling to come to terms with his blindness as well as a whole mess of other things like his recent assassination attempt from the Band of Brothers and the Council's insistence on his throne as the King.
Assail and Marisol
God, these two broke my heart. Not sure if I'm the only one, but I'm one of the few who actually liked reading about Assail and Sol. What happened to Sol was absolutely horrible. Kidnapping and attempted rape? That can seriously devastate and haunt anyone forever. Assail pretty much went psycho crazy just trying to find her, while leaving a trail of bodies on the way of course. I don't know about you, but Assail reminds me of Rhevenge in a way. He pretty much took over Rhev's "job" as a drug dealer. Oh, and when Assail realized that he loves Sol? It just took my breath away! I'm already tearing up just thinking about it. It's so obvious that these two have FEELINGS for one another but sadly they're not acting on it. And the way the WARDen left these two? Damn it, I need to know! Will Sol and Assail ever be reunited again? I certainly hope so!
Trez and Selena / iAm
What a complicated situation these two have. Don't get me wrong, I still love reading about these two but damn it, I just can't help but wish the best for them. Trez has his whole issue with the s'Hibe on his back while Selena has her "problem." I can't out dish too many spoilers, but it's not good. I've been interested
Xcor and Layla
Although Xcor has done a lot of horrible things, I can't help but like him. Especially when he's with Layla. He's in love with her. I'm not sure about Layla, but I think she has some sort of feeling towards him. These two didn't get as much attention as I had wanted but I'm positive that their relationship with will become more important in the long run. I thought Layla's deal with Xcor was rather interesting. Xcor seems to be done with the throne but I'm just not sure about Throe? I'm actually surprised Xcor agreed to it in the first place because he's so in love with Layla. But because he has such low self-esteem, he's taking whatever he can get of Layla. Throe will most likely play a key role in the future books because of his reaction towards Xcor and Layla.
