again im just reading this for a good time lmao… also these books are kinda long for no reason like the first half to middle is barely any plot and all the action and good stuff is at the end which is understandable but there’s too much exposition. 

also can we talk about the tokenism of diego… 

and the fact that this series lacks diversity when there’s so many species of fae ??? there’s one poc in this whole series and he’s a bad guy (max rigel), the vega twins and diego are latine but they’re white so does that even count,,,

let’s also mention the fact that lance is like 26 and darcy is 18… at least tory is flirting with people her age not that it makes it any better cause she has terrible taste (abusers).

Im glad this one had a bit of everyone’s POV.

I was happy that Caleb and Tory happened. I hope they continue but im guessing something will pop up and halt them. I thought some of  Tory and Darcy’s actions were annoying. Them with the throne thing - it just felt too soon and out of no where and then then with the pegasus thing - i get getting back at him, but they kept going at him and i dont think he deserved that much repeated harassment.

Overall I enjoyed, im going to read the prequel before continuing because i think itll be important before this next book.

Volume divertente e finalmente le protagoniste cominciano a diventare leggermente più attive e controllano leggermente meglio i loro potere e potenziale.
Non vedo l'ora di scoprire l'ordine a cui appartengono.
