For Poppy? I’d lay down my life for her. Blindly. And Hawke can do no wrong in my eyes. Their banter back and forth is so funny. I feel like a high school girl again kicking a screaming at all the flirting 🤭

Spoiler

 
The world building was a little confusing and just when I understood it, Hawke was Casteel and everything Poppy (and the reader) had been taught was a lie. Honestly i’m not mad about it though.

I truly went into this series so blindly and i’m so glad I did because I loved all of the plot twists!! JLA’s foreshadowing is a bit obvious in my opinion but again, i’m not mad. Loved the religious trauma. Loved Poppy’s inner journey, finding her worthiness and embracing that she is that GURL. 💅

off to make this series my whole personality 🤪

lostinworlds's review against another edition

Wanted to give Jennifer one last chance to see if there was a book I'd like from her. Turns out I won't be able to get those hours back. If you like a vanilla fantasy romance then go for it! Just no longer my cup of tea.

Had me hooked. The world building was a bit weak but I was still enthralled. The twists and turns were great.

It's pretty dark, and gets real spicy about 70% in.

I'm surprised to see a lot of terrible reviews on this - but given the fact that I read it in 4 days (and would have read it much sooner if I didn't have a job and a family 😂), it's safe to say that I really enjoyed it.

I looooove slow burn and descriptive writing. Really the only negative on this for me is that I could see the plot twist coming, but that wasn't a huge deal to me.
