The plot.... emaculate. The romance...... enticing. These things really make this book a five for me. Just like in the second book they really make up for some of the writing that can start to pull me from the story. Sometimes some of the ways characters choose to say certain things seems off for the setting of the book. And I understand...... she has questions but why is it brought up AND responded to every 2 minutes. Occasionally is funny but after a while it can be too much.

For the first 80% or so, I was OBSESSED. Casteel Da'Neer the man you are 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Cas and Poppy are my babies 🥺 could've read about them for another 800 pages. What I don't wanna read about is worldbuilding/info-dumping. Throughout this book, there's at least 5 theories on who Poppy's parents are. I'm TIRED. Noone's who they say they is. Everything is a lie. I have no clue what's going on anymore ngl 😭 and I cba to try and figure it out

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) 

5 out of 5 stars

God this series has tanked for me. Like every other chapter had some sort of "major" revelation. I needed some consistency this book could not provide. The overused trope of Poppy being relatively innocent is getting old as hell too. I do enjoy how badass Poppy is and how much she is growing physically and emotionally but I swear this next book has to be better because I BARLEY made it through these last 50 pages.
