Political strife
Identity politics
Family trees
Very slow beginning and middle, great ending but poorly paced overall
Too much time spent on world building and not enough time building tension around key plot points

Everything just falls into the lap of the main character.
Spoiler Wanna marry a husband who would kill his own family for you even though you've barely gotten to know each other? Be my guest. Want to become queen of Antarctica? Take the fucking crown and get really aggressive and self-righteous if anyone in the kingdom ever objects. Want to be a literal God? Here! Have it and all of the combined powers of the world!
Jesus Christ is this ever a horribly bad self-insert fanfiction. 

Also this book is very dialogue heavy when it definitely doesn't have to be. By the time one character spends 10 pages explaining something to our Y/N insert you could've just as easily explained it through action, not dialogue. And wanna know what the crazy thing is? You still have no idea what is happening to the plot 99.9% of the time even though information is practically being spoon-fed to you. I thought Gods and deities were synonymous but apparently, plot twist, they're not??? 
Spoiler
//Author's note: The MC is not just a deity, she's a God... okay!! Get that through your thick skulls! Gods are more epic and cool and they glow silver and there're Gods who are even above other Gods but Y/N is a descendent of those Gods too so she's like the most powerful being out there. And oh, she has a dragon army now and can bring people from the dead// 

Casanova Steele is still as annoying as ever and Poopy does whatever the plot calls her to do. More things happened in this book compared to the last, however, which is why I'm giving it a slightly higher score than the previous installment in the series. 

I'm so happy Audible has a refund option bc I really did not enjoy this book for the right reasons. I loved to hate it, I loved to imagine how the book could've been even slightly better than what was presented to me, and for that, I'll give this book some props. Some average-rated 5-star prediction books haven't come close to garnering this much passion out of me. Is it better written than average-garbage ACOMAF? No, but it's hella enjoyable to make fun of.
