For the first half I liked this better than the first, but I was less convinced as it dragged on. I wanted more personality from the secondary characters.

I like getting the history of the gods from FBAA, but I can't help but feel like Sera and Ash are Poppy and Hawke lite. This book definitely went much more quickly than the first.  The dialogue is a weird mix of modern slang and fantasy.  It is probably the spicier of the books so far, but I'm not that into voyeurism/exhibitionism.

I really hate other women drama and the cheating miscommunication trope. 

I'm also upset about Ector.

Absolutely love this book it is at my top favorite books in the fantasy  genre. I would say this book was kind of hard to envision into my brain. Maybe that was just me, but my favorite character, of course, is Nikos or also known as Ash. It was also very informative to have Sera’s trials of family included into this book series. There’s nothing more that need to be added to the series love the bits and pieces
