Green-Eyed Monster: Court of Chains

I'm gonna need a minute babes... I'm gonna need several minutes.... omg. OH HELL YES—Green-Eyed Monster by Rawnie Sabor is exactly the kind of sapphic demon-witch enemies-to-lovers chaos I crave at 2am when I want to feel destroyed and mended at the same time. This series?? A full-blown obsession. Book three in the Court of Chains series is all about Envy, so of course it’s gonna get dark. Rawnie doesn’t shy away from the intensity—this is a razor-sharp, soul-clawing, kink-infused love story between two powerful women who absolutely should not want each other… and yet??? They burn. They crave. And we are so lucky to witness it. Let’s start with Vex—our demon of Envy, who is MEAN, chaotic, and emotionally feral. It took me more than a minute to warm up to her, because she comes in guns blazing with that “I hate you but also I’m obsessed with you” energy. But babes… once you crack her open and see what’s really underneath that sharp exterior? OH. The spiral. The yearning. The devotion. I was gone. And Angela Norwood?? She’s a witch, she’s brilliant, and she is a revelation. Rawnie wrote her with such intentional grace—Angela is logical, emotionally grounded, unapologetically powerful, and deliciously complex. She’s not just “the love interest,” she’s the heart of this book. She makes Vex work for it, in every way, and I loved her for it. The tension between them is wild. Like “I hate you, don’t touch me” vs. “I will burn the world down for you” wild. And when it finally…

I can't get enough of this series and didn't ever want to put it down. As much as I loved the last book with Pride, I was eagerly awaiting Vex's story ever since being introduced. I think of all the sins, Envy has to be one of the most complicated, if not the most. Not just as a deadly sin but as an entity of Sin. The complexities that fester in an Envy demon made Vex unnervingly relatable to me in certain ways which oddly enough, gave her some humanity in a way. And it was fascinating to see how a character that feeds off jealousy and hate, someone with a tortuous (yet so recent) past, could be more than what she was created to be. Angela was such a well written character and especially perfect enough to balance out Vex's emo and broody persona but not only that, to be an opposing force to Vex's true nature and be the catalyst that proved she could be more. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope because it always makes for a hot push and pull between the MCs and there was plenty of heat throughout this story. The tension and anger makes for some awesome angry spice and there is plenty of that in amazing detail. I'm pretty sure I've been ruined for most other authors who write spice because these are the lengthy and emersive scenes I crave. I might have forgotten to breathe a few times. All in all, I love this world that's been built and getting to learn more with each page and each book and I love that we got to see even more of it through this book. The plots are so…
