This story is so poignant, given the political climate. It's a story where women, especially those deemed more powerful than men are targeted. And it doesn't slap you in the face right out of the gate. Oh no, Ms.St. Clair draws you in, makes you fall in love with these characters, has you rooting for these characters, invested in their lives then BAM! The true motive for Ravena is revealed. And I can't say I disagree with her, or am mad about it.
Looking back I can see the signs that Ana is Ravena. And back when Isolde was Yesenia and was pregnant when she burned made me mad af. Among all the other things Drago did to her of course. So much was torn away from Yesenia, and the more Isolde remembers of her past and the more people target and underestimate her, I think the more unstoppable she will become. Isolde and Adrian are morally grey characters, but honestly I'd be okay if they became the villains.
I'm just not sure how the goddesses and Adrian play into Ravena's motivations and goals. Also what is the seed her Mom gave her? How did she see/visit her Mom?

We always fight and fuck.
That's the plot. There are some reveals in there, somewhere. Somewhere...
But that's mostly it. Isolde and Adrian fight and fuck. And do it again. And again.
I was quite angry reading it, but anger that drives me to read the next one. I'm disappointed in myself, truly, but I'm committed to the end.
