Are Khayon and Nefertari in Love or Just Close Friends?

-

I can’t help but wonder if Khayon and Nefertari are actually in love. Her name translates closely to ‘my beautiful’, which makes me think there’s something more going on. Do you guys think their relationship is romantic or purely platonic?

I’d argue it’s just a really close friendship. The author, ADB, seems like he wouldn’t give his main character a semi-romantic involvement. It feels more like they share a deep bond without the romantic label.

Haha, right? Just a lot of that ‘sensual touching’ without any real romance lines.

Yeah, I get what you mean. But I really wish ADB had leaned into it more! McNeil does this kind of thing a lot better in his books. Honestly, I want to see Khayon’s edgy Egyptian powers more involved with Nefertari instead of just leaving everything vague.

Totally hear you on that! It felt like there was potential for something interesting between them in the first book, but then ADB kind of dialed it back in the sequel. Kind of disappointing.
