Why that ending tho… I feel like the plotlines weren’t well incorporated in this book but the character work is so strong and I feel like I’m starting to really care about all of them, especially Fortuna. For all that the story disappointed me at times (I seriously hope she actually hold onto to some important plot threads and fills the new plotholes she’s just created in this one) I’m definitely sticking around to read more.

challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

Many thoughts in head, & I don’t know how to rate this book. This definitely feels like an over-glorified Vampire Diaries meets supernatural episode…? It was like a fire I couldn’t look away from though at the same time? Fortuna is a bad bitch, but I don’t really feel that attached to anybody else? This reminded me a lot of Sarah J Maas’s writing & a lot of it was uncomfy & didn’t sit right with me & I really don’t know how to feel about what I just read. The ending definitely was unexpected and maybe I’m just triggered….? Perhaps I’ll come back with a more cohesive review eventually but I am…. Feeling

I honestly hated this & I’m absolutely disgusted by it too. Firstly, the whole plot of this series is unoriginal, as it seemed like a bad copy of ACOTAR with a Bible story thrown in & adapted into a fantasy plot for good (well actually bad) measure. Then there were so many plot-holes & features that were dismissed or caused the plot itself to be hugely disjointed. And then finally… making my blood run cold & me to feel physically sick, was how the resolution to the climax of the story became pure sexual assault & RAPE! It disgusts me so much that the author believed that was an acceptable plot, & I’m so confused that I’ve never heard any criticism of it before. I would absolutely not touch this series, in no way recommend it & with finality will not be continuing with the rest of the series. It’s devastating that the latest book only came out a couple of days ago (this year in 2022!) & yet people continue to recommend it, despite the vile intents. With certainty I can say this will be my worst book of 2022. 🚫

 This ending... wow.
This book really stepped it up for me. You can go check out my review for Fortuna Sworn and I can say that pretty much every aspect I didn't like, the author rectified them.
I really loved the romance in this book, and the confusing love triangle.
This book is pretty confusing all around. The author doesn't tell you too much, it's dark and mysterious. And I do like that a lot.
Anyway, I think the next book is going to be pretty heavy so I need to mentally prepare myself.
