I’m always left with more questions and while it kind of makes me want to keep reading it’s also just annoying to never get answers just more questions. And it’s because the main character knows almost nothing that we as the reader know nothing.
It felt like not much happened until more than halfway through and even then it was just confusing. I was getting bored at many points as they rehashed the same plot points over and over without doing much of anything.
I do like the main couple at points and some of the side characters too.

Half of the book was really repetitive, nothing actually happened and then, it all went so quickly and now I'm confused with the ending.
I really love the romance between Poppy and Hawke. It just didn't feel rushed like in other books, especially after
The side characters - god they are amazing.
Many new characters are introduced in this book, and I especially love Kieran now. The banter between them all and new friendships developing was really great.
The plot itself didn't really move forward that much at first, in the second half, it started to pace up a bit and I'm really glad it did, because I had already started to wonder, if it was worth it to continue.
Now at the end of the book, I'm left on a major cliffhanger and I'm already so excited for the next book.. which I luckily already have laying right next to me :)
In conclusion, it's a really good book, but some parts of it was just too slow-moving for me. I'm glad I didn't put it aside, and I hope the next one will now continue a bit quicker.
