I loved this book and was suprised by the revelation of a certain characters what seemed to be demisexuality, after how we’d seen them portrayed previously it was somewhat surprising but I’m so happy that they got their own form of happy ending.  

I love the characters and this series with my heart, unfortunately though something just felt unfinished which is why it didn’t get 5 stars. I feel we could’ve had another book exploring what we found out in those last 100 pages with the longer term outcomes of everyone finalised.

Writing style was okay, nothing special. Plot wise I liked the solution and the
happy end
, but after
they had Jael to go back to Eretz
the book left me wondering what would happen in the last hundred pages or so. The last plot twist didn't get me because it was solved so fast, like they didn't think much about it. 
Characters: my favourite, after Brimstone died in the first book, was definitely Liraz, because she was more relatable than the others and I really do ship her and Ziri, but why does she have to look up when he's in his natural body again? Don't get me wrong, I love that he has his "right" body back, but I'm not a fan of the fact that Liraz was an absolute queen before and now has to look up to somebody and is blushing and all. I thought she was tall. Why can't she be the same height at least? Doesn't seem realistic to me. But well, I ranted enough.

All in all I would say it was a solid read, nothing outstanding though.
