Really enjoyed it. Pacing was good but it ended right when all the action was starting. Not too wordy like other JLA books can be. I feel like it's going to be a series where the 1st book really sets everything up and the 2nd book is where the plot really picks up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Stars

I am confused to the point that my brain feels as though it has melted through my ears. I am either incredibly stupid, or I have no idea what was happening for the majority of the book.😖🤷‍♀️

For a good chunk of the story, it was endless exposition that made little to no sense along with sexy times between Lis and Thorne. I was hooked at the beginning of the book, but the middle dragged on and on; simultaneously making little sense but also info dumping??

The last 20% of the book hooked me again. Finally, there was action! And some questions were answered! But wait, those answers only made me more confused, so yeah, I don't know what to think lol.😅

Someone else described this book perfectly: Fall of Ruin and Wrath read more like a prequel than an actual fully-formed book. Nevertheless, I am somewhat hooked, so I will be reading the next book. Depending on how I like it, I might change this review. For now, I will keep it at 3.5. 🐥💕

I very much enjoyed the book even though it has flaws. 
The plot really begins towards the end of the book (~70%) and the summary resumes the first30% of the book 💀. There's, of course, some filling but honestly it's a very good summary of the first quarter of the book 😂
It is mainly focused on the characters and their relationship. 
The writing is okay. 
However the cliffhanger is insanely good ! Will definitely read the next one !

And this is why I’ve been trying to only read COMPLETED series…but the temptation was too strong and now I have to wait who knows how long before the next book 😩 This was SO GOOD.
