4.0

This book made me feel like I was reading ACOTAR again in a way. Some of the main characters had a good amount of depth too them but wished I got more from others. It has a few plot twists that made me confused as to where the plot was gonna go but still really enjoyed it. Still upset that one of my favorite characters died but it’s ok, I’ll survive 🥲

adventurous dark funny medium-paced

4.0

Funny dialogue. Slow reveal of the world building and the characters. The violent scenes were concise and effective movers of plot.  

It reminds me of TVD Damien and Elena.

It took me a bit to get into the book, but then I devoured it. I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Despite that, I found Poppy annoying and the plot was predictable. I think I accurately predicted every major plot point at least 200 pages before it happened.

Spoiler

Cas and Poppy's relationship also annoyed me. Poppy is super violent towards Cas and he FREAKING KIDNAPPED HER. Not sure how I feel about that whole relationship. It feels very ick
