I find Jace as a character interesting but this book just didn't quite do it for me. It felt very meandering and unfocused, but I'm still interested in reading the next installment of this story arc. Also, I really want to know more about Maven, who might be my new favorite character in the House of Slaughter series.

That second book really brought down this series and the third book suffered. I want to see what happened to these characters inbetween 1 and 3

I think I’m a little fatigued of the “angry children mad they can’t be hunters after watching their friends and family die” trope that’s heavy in this series and Something is Killing the Children. Because of that, Sunny just felt like a fully annoying plot device to bring a confrontation between Jace and Jolie. Largely uninterested in their beef tbh but it was entertaining enough. Would love to know more about Maven though. 👀
