1) The first 80% of the book was filler. The only important events happen in the last 20% of the story.
2)
3) Poppy's useless inner monologues continue, and they're painful to read at times. They go beyond not understanding things until she does to actually being poor writing.
4) Casteel only wants to and cares about getting into Poppy's pants. He is a useless character with little purpose other than getting Poppy off.
5) Kieran and Poppy have a much healthier relationship than Poppy and Casteel.
6) LOTS of repetition - I don't need every detail rehashed in every book.

i also was frustrated that the book before this spends soooo long getting to a location, and then finally arrived there at the end, but only because we barely spend any time in the final location during this book and then immediately back track to the location we just came from in the previous book. we spent so long trying to get to atlantia and barely got a good glimpse of it.
i also am getting tired of hearing how strong and courageous and beautiful and brave poppy is. this is one of a multitude of reasons this book could do with some better editing.
i wish i enjoyed this more since i liked the previous books so much. not sure if/when i will get around to the rest of the books in the series and the books in the prequel series.

Heart-pounding, gut-wrenching from the first chapter. So much lore, history, and backstory has built up to such a crescendo with an epic conclusion to this book. I am desperate to know what happens next. My heart is not okay. (03/2024)

Jennifer really kicked up the spice in this one from the last book which was welcomed as the pace was so slow in the middle. Casteel is 🥵yes🥵 incarnate. Keiran can always get it and I NEED more Delano. The last several chapters were INSANE - An amazing ending that rocked me to my core and set the stage perfectly for the next book. 😩🤌🏽
