I have to admit I went back and forth with this book. There were some moments I really liked and there were others I was very upset about.

I love Cas. I love Kieran. I love Reaver. There are other characters I love but these are probably my favorites. They’re witty and sarcastic and also loveable. I feel like Poppy really grew throughout this book especially.

Spoiler

I did find it a little irritating that they were overly confident and kept underestimating Isbeth. Her death was satisfying. Go Poppy. I have to say I am so freaking glad we finally got the joining and it was sexual. The joining was definitely spicy but it was also beautiful and sweet. They give me throuple vibes but it’s sweet how much they care for each other

.

I do feel like Armentrout does fall into this cycle of repetition that kind of drags on but I really like the actual storyline so I look past the repetitive jokes that have lost their effect and the repetitive info for the general story that I’m really enjoying.

I loved the first three parts of the series, however with this last one I really had to push myself to finish it. It would've made much more sense to give it a different title; it did not reflect the book up until the last 5 chapters. 

Good spicy moments towards the end, but the main male chatacter needed lots of improvement.

Book 4 - solid magic, mystery, war development. Too many steamy scenes that didn’t add anything to the plot. Just felt like they were included to check all the boxes. A lot of drama could be avoided if characters just had the hard discussions.
