3.0

I was going to give this 2 stars, just because this was way too tense and unpleasant for my tastes, but Jennifer very generously made it up to us in the last few chapters, so I bumped it back up to 3.

FTR, the sexual assault in this book is not explicit, it is quite vaguely described, but I still found it disturbing and quickly skimmed over the two worst ones.

This book felt a little like an extended novella. I felt like some parts dragged and there was a lot of lore dump. I do love Sera and the way her anxiety is portrayed. It’s so nice to see a badass fmc with anxiety. I love the way Ash cares for her but Nektas is really a favorite. So mature and reasonable . I wish the majority of the book wasn’t spent with Kolis. I hate him and I’m not a huge fan of books where the FMC and MMC are apart for so long.

This could have been 200 pages shorter. It's sooooo slow and nothing really happens. Also, a lot of the same phrases are used over and over again. A decent editor could have made it so much better.

God was this painful. The last two books could’ve been one if she’d just shaved away the bullshit. This one’s filler mostly consisted of preachy monologues about what SA is and why it’s wrong. Which is true but didn’t need to be in here 😩 Also spoilers…..

Bro they totally went Bella and Edward when she ascended. With the world ending around them, she woke up and they proceeded to fuck 3 or 4 times before addressing ANYTHING else.
