If the two main characters hadn’t been imprisoned for over 300 pages, this would have probably been a 5 star. 
That being said, the use of their imprisonment to uncover the lore  of the main villain was very well done. It could easily have been depressing and tedious but instead it was suspenseful and compelling. 
I finished this book on my lunch break and found myself at barnes and noble after work, picking up the next one in the series.

I usually enjoy the books in this series because of the cheesy romance but I really struggled to get through this one. This book is about main character, Sera’s, time spent under the captivity of the King of the Primals, Kolis, and it is pretty dark but also very drawn out with a lot of emotional suffering. I read books that are fun and entertaining and 80% of this book made me tense and anxious. I don’t enjoy that kind of reading experience so this has been my least favorite book of the series, but some people might enjoy exploring those other emotions.

Sera and Nyktos are being held prisoner by Kolis. Sera reveals to Kolis that the soul of Sotoria is inside her, and she bargains with him for Nytkos' freedom. Sera has to make Kolis believe that she is in love with him. The inner workings of how Kolis created his Revenants is revealed. Callum's identity as Sotoria's brother becomes clear. Sera embraces her power as the Primal of Life and Queen of the Gods and stops the Rot. Towards the end of the book, things started to lean on deus ex machinas too much, especially with the large diamond that will miraculously solve all of Sera's problems by holding Sotoria's soul. I will still read the the next book in the series, but I preferred the first two books in the series more.

 

This book was just too intense for me. I love the Sera and Nyktos relationship, but I didn't care for all of the creepy non-consensual scenes between Kolis and Sera. It was too disturbing.

Full of uncomfortable, stressful dark moments, yet with a very satisfying and hopeful conclusion/ending. Worth sticking through reading 100%
