Definitely my favourite of the trilogy, I found it addictive and really fast paced. Now I see why Emilia ‘changed’ so much over the books, but I will say the plot did feel overly complicated in some places. I do want to reread them again in the future just to see if I notice things now I know the things… You know? Plus maybe get to grips with the plot more too. Will continue reading books from this world in the future though.

This is a fun and quick end to a trilogy. Some scenes were a bit rushed, and I was surprised that there are quite many spicy scenes but I guess that’s now a trend. Still, this book should be labeled as an adult fantasy. I loved the moment Emilia came to her true self and gained access to her power, she was amazing! This book hinted at some plots that could be explored more in the future series, and personally, I want to know more about Envy and his past as well as Claudia and her decision on her memories.
Overall, if you’re a fan of the series, you will enjoy this one. But if you’re still contemplating whether to read it or not, I suggest diving into it with minimum expectations.

I think the pacing for this book was great up until the ending. The ending felt anti-climatic and unfinished. Instead it is all rushed and kind of resolved but not in a satisfying way for myself and what I was looking forward to. It is unfortunate that that is the ending we got as the rest of the book didn't feel that way, and the ending is what sticks with most readers.
This will not stop me from reading Kerri Maniscalo's future books, and I look forward to her new works.
