Spoiler
possessed by Nicholina for some reason. I believe this was hinted at at the ending of the last book, but I can’t rememberSpoiler
she’s normal againSpoiler
when Lou goes in these holy waters to cast out Nicholina’s spiritSpoiler
Reid randomly loses his memories which was one of the stupidest things I’ve read in a book in a long time and annoyed the hell out of me. This was just a lazy way to create the same dynamic between Reid and Lou from the first book where they hated each other and wanted to kill each other, but this time it’s just Reid hating Lou. I hated everything about since it stretched the plot unnecessarily and led to Reid just being annoying; it didn’t add anything worthwhile to the storySpoiler
Morgane when Lou is at the holy waters, or Coco’s mother which is a mermaid for some reasonsSpoiler
how Lou became the new Dame or why she wouldn’t tell Reid from the beginning how he could get his memories backSpoiler
Reid finally gets his memories back, right before Lou and him are captured and almost killed – their plan was bound to fail in the first place, but okay. It was such an epic moment how they were saved last minute and how the final fight then starts. This final fight was amazing as well and the scene where Lou and Célie together kill Morgane was so powerfulSpoiler
everyone’s alive in the endSpoiler
memory loss of ReidSpoiler
Lou and Reid are both back to their normal self, but this was just way too lateGraphic: Violence, War, Sexual content, Blood, Confinement, and Death

The world, the magic, the action, the drama, the twists, the relationships, and the plot were outstanding! Yes, my least favorite trope was found in this book but I enjoyed the novel regardless.
Lou and Reid will be one of my favorite ships. Always.
