After finishing the first book in the series I was excited to start the second book to get a more in-depth look at some of the characters but it felt like it was a bit lackluster. There wasn't much plot or character building in this book, granted there were a lot of things that happened throughout the book. It almost felt as though there were too many issues instead of the characters having to focus on one or two; as a reader there wasn't a main focal point as it almost felt chaotic.
To be fair, there were a lot of twists and turns that you would have or not have picked up hints on throughout the book. There's also a good amount of spice that was included, which I think we're all here for đ

That being said, I feel like some plot points were fairly predictable and easily guessed
I donât buy into the whole for the greater good thing, especially with Violetaâs death. Killian saying goodbye to her had me tearing up. And Isoldeâs conversation with her mother about has me sobbing

The sequel to one of my top books of 2022. I wonât let my love for KOBAB blind me to how I feel about this book I promise.Â
Queen of Myth & Monsters is very character driven focusing on Isolde, worry not the plot is still solid even if it was character driven. Thereâs a lot happening on this book that picks up right after KOBAB, no time jump, and be warned that this will hurt.Â
I hurt for Violeta and Sorren, if you have read it you already know why, and I felt their loss and it feels unfair that both had to happen.Â
I was hoping for more chapters that focused on Adrian mostly because he seemed like an asshole for majority of this book due to circumstances and situations beyond control and I wished we were given his POV to know exactly how he feels or what he was thinking you know?Â
âYou are my greatest gift Isolde. The day I found you was the day I needed nothing elseâ Bonus Scene Adrian - this đ„ș
I love both Isolde & Adrian and this cliffhanger!!! I canât believe I did not expect such ending đ€Ż
