Omg finally done with this thick ass book! 12 days you guys, it took me 12 days lol. Thanks to the flu that bothered me in the middle of reading this, oh and let's not forget the magical world of netflix. 
 But anyways, I am freaking done with The Remnant Chronicles /pats self on shoulder/ and I have some thoughts that I would like to share. 
 Rafe or Kaden or Kaden or Rafe... WHO IS IT GOING TO BE? When I read the first book, I didn't have a side, but when the second book came in, I was Team Rafe for sure. But honestly though, this is the first time where I genuinely love 2 lead male characters. There was nothing to hate with the both of them. Actually, I feel like most of the things that I'm going to say here would be about the love triangle because omg I cannot deal with life. 
 The story's love triangle arc wasn't the cheesy and insta love type of arc which I really appreciated. It wasn't perfect. And that's a good thing because love isn't supposed to be perfect and easy. The story really showed how difficult it was to balance love and duty. (More on that later). So somehow the whole thing became a reflection of what was about to happen. (view spoiler)[ At the start of the story, Rafe and Lia were sailing, hard. But as the story goes on, they're both faced with a difficult decision as conflicts were dumped on them, one by one. To the point that Rafe couldn't handle it anymore and decided to let Lia go. This sealed the deal for me as Team Rafe because it just showed how mature he was about the whole issue going on with his relationship with Lia and at the same time, his duty as a crown prince and eventually king. It was tough for the both of them and even Kaden noticed. Another thing that I love is about Kaden, he never pushed Lia into anything and never forced himself on to her even if he loved her. He knew where Lia's heart belonged to and he also saw the fear in Rafe when he let her go. Duty over relationship. (hide spoiler)]. 
 Kaden is some guy, to be honest. He's something that's one of a kind. He reminds me of Aspen from The Selection Series. I mean yes, he was an ass in the two books because he lied and deceived a lot of people but he eventually came through. (view spoiler)[ I KNEW KADEN AND PAULINE WERE GOING TO BE A THING. AND THIS MADE ME SO FREAKING HAPPY. Oh my goodness, I knew they were a ship waiting to sail when he delivered Pauline's baby, Rhys (a name given by Kaden). After that, I knew that they were the one. Another scene was when Kaden defended Pauline when the biological father of her child, Mikael, tried to "win" her back. It showed the protective side of Kaden and everything was just great. Kaden was absolutely falling hard for Pauline, and him having a POV wasn't helping my feels at all. Same goes for Rafe. At the end where Kaden was holding baby Rhys and smiling... AGHHHHHH DON'T EVEN. MY. HEART. EXPLODED. (hide spoiler)] 
 Okay so moving on to our main girl, Lia. She was okay for me. She did have her faults but it was completely understandable. At the end of the day, she had a mind of her own and she didn't rely on anyone to stand up for her kingdom. She needed help, yes. But she was a born leader. Lia's character reminded me of Sansa, somehow weak at first then grew up to be a strong and fierce leader. (view spoiler)[ It showed when she wanted to go back to Morrighan and Rafe wouldn't let her. I also knew that this was going to be the start of their rocky relationship. (hide spoiler)] 
 Rafe and Lia's relationship was something I actually liked because it was a reality check for both of them, if your relationship with someone, turns out to be a hindrance to what you want to obtain in life, then it's not going to work. (view spoiler)[ Rafe did the right thing by calling it off and for saying it was for the best, because he was right. A relationship was something they both couldn't focus on right now because they had other things to worry about. It's as simple as that. Lia didn't want to let go but she had to. And she mustered up the courage to do what was right. For herself and her kingdom. Points to her for that. Rafe also mentioned that letting her go, made her even more strong and he was actually proud of the fact that breaking up with her would bring out a stronger version of Lia. But every time there was a door open for their reconciliation, something had to slam it in their face. When Rafe told her he was engaged to another girl... I ALMOST KILLED SOMEONE. Like wtf no no no this can't be happening because YA'LL NEED EACH OTHER. (hide spoiler)] 
 Oh and by the way, the story became super interesting by the time it reached the 600th page.... /wink/ go read it now. 
 Lol side note, I super focused on the love story HAHAHA and not the actual story. Oops. Whatever hihi. 
 The ending was great for me, I really enjoyed it, (view spoiler)[ Kaden and Pauline were a thing together with baby Rhys, (I actually wish there would be another novel just for the two of them) Rafe didn't have the engagement pushed through and after months, decided to go back to Lia. All is good. And I also loved how the end of the story showed how they were at the beginning, dressed as a farmer and a tavern maid. #RelationshipGoalz (hide spoiler)] 
 So yeah, please do pick up The Remnant Chronicles, if you haven't. Fall in love with the characters and enjoy it!
