I hated this book. I wish I had just looked up a summary. It’s literally a copy of Poppy and Casteel except with a different storyline. If it is crucial to read book 2 for the book after WOTQ (which btw is the ONLY reason I read this trash) then I am honestly going to just look up a summary explaining the just of it. Could have read other better books as opposed to this. Do yourself a favor and just look up spoilers.

Oh my Gods is this books so good😍🔥😍🔥 After reading through the FBAA books I was hesitant to want to pick this one up because I loved Poppy and them too much but WOW do I love Sera and Nyktos even more! I am literal trash for their relationship.
I devoured this book in a day and a half while caring for a 1 year old. It’s that good and I don’t know what to do while waiting for the second one.
After reading through the FBAA books too it is so cool to see the gods as real people and get a deeper understanding of the world and see the lore first hand. And Reaver and Jadis? I need to have little dragons now!

I found this story engaging and entertaining and was left wanting more - there's no doubt JLA is a great storyteller. 

However, this story was very familiar. Almost verbatim of FBAA (yes, I know it's a prequel/part of the main series). There was a part where Sera sees a dead baby and is like ~if anything ever hurts any of my descendents I'll annihilate them~... It took away from the story imo. 

Moreover, some of the writing itself wasn't the best and would take you out of the story as you're reading it...
