I'm only giving 3.5⭐️ but I still loved this book. It is basically a retelling of books 1 & 2 but from his POV and with a few new things thrown in. It was fast paced only because you have already basically read it. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read. I always enjoying seeing the alternate POV to get a better understanding of characters which we got. Obsessed with this world and these characters and still loving the tandem read between both series!

It was really great to get Casteel’s POV from the first book, but again, JLA’s writing is quite drawn out…
While Casteel’s inner thoughts were new I didn’t feel that we learned that much new information and for some reason, I found the romantic moments from the first book more powerful from Poppy’s POV.

That being said, it was fun to delve into this series again. I just hope the final book is worth the wait!
