For the most of part of this book, I felt it the story was taking too long and it wasn't my favorite in the series. I wasn't getting the plot in this book... And (unpopular opinion - I'm sorry) I'm not a fan of spice in book in general. Yes we get it, Castell and Poppy cannot get their hand off of each other... I was about done with this book and series to be honest... The last 150 pages changes my mind completely. I was on the edge of my seat and could not get it down. I was almost screaming to my book Noooooooo! Now I cannot wait for the next book.

Great book. Good writing, nothing too complicated. Just really slow in the middle and heaps going on right at the start and end. Good twists and turns.

An enjoyable read but it really was a slog at some points that I had to take a break and read something else for a day or two. The beginning and end are both fast paced and exciting and a lot happens (the last 60-70 pages, holy cow!) but the middle is just a lot of conversation that doesn't really build up to anything at times. There's a few times that there seems to be something exciting happening but then it gets resolved or we move on in a chapter or two. 

My biggest complaint is the same as others in that some of the joking around and dialogue is soooo repetative. We get it, Poppy asks a lot of questions, Poppy is stabby, Cas stans his wife, let's move on. One improvement is while Poppy still has a lot of inner dialogue that can be trimmed, I found that to be better than TKOFOF.

Overall, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would after reading the dislike that it gets. I don't feel like this is where the series starts breaking down, a lot does happen and the adventures are great once you get to them. Poppy's growth is probably the best part and I love where she ends up by the end. A lot of the conversation in the.middle, while a slog at points, was necessary info dumps. I'll keep reading and am happy that I enjoyed this thoroughly.
