1 - mates were never explained, I understand the connection is deeper and by killing your mate you get death magic but there doesn’t seem to be anything else to it
2 - the prophecy was discussed multiple times but it didn’t really feel like it mattered at the end of the book
3 - the nymphs continued to refer to Adara as their Queen but there wasn’t much explanation
4 - the battle with Gavril was supposed to be the major tipping point, but it was over in just a couple chapters, it was really lack luster for me
5 - in the prior book Adara gets a book about the history of the Starblessed, we never learn more about them other than they can use nature as a source for their magic but then that didn’t happen in the series
6 - similarly, Evren makes a big deal in the prior book that “knowledge is power” but then that’s never actually demonstrated
I enjoyed the overall plot, but I feel like majority of this book revolves around sex when it could have been better had it focused in other things.
The multiple POV elevated this book - had it just been from Adara’s perspective I would have probably rated this lower tbh.

The book is still fast paced, and short, so like the two before it, not a lot of character development. I still might continue the series since it'll shift to Thalia, whom is my favorite.
I read this series as palette cleansers and while it did it's job, I feel like I at least enjoyed the first two and this one was meh. I do appreciate Adara coming more into her own power so that gets a point.
