This book did not need to be over 1000 pages! Half of the book could of been erased without affecting the plot.
So many pov chapters from characters which I did not care about or remember from previous books.
Really disappointing but I have to continue because I love the main characters.

4.5

A slow start, 50%-98% was exceptional and a definite five star read, but the last two chapters and the very slow start brought it down to a 4.5.
I love this world and the surprises of this book really had me squealing with excitement, but the book also had me disliking characters like Seth and Tory all over again and their development seemed to decline? 

Darius coming back was the highlight of the book, with surprises from Geraldine and Max being my new favourite couple? And everyone FINALLY bowing to the Vega’s, and the building of the nest with Gabriel’s stick fascination😂 but if Seth and Caleb don’t get their shit together in the first few chapters of ZA9 I’ll scream.
I also don’t like a new villain in the last book trope. More annoying than exciting really, but I’m still kind of excited.
