This was far less enjoyable and far more irritating than Serpent & Dove. It went in a direction I wasn’t a fan of, and I was also under the impression that certain plots would have some closure, but I was very wrong. There’s no satisfaction from reading this book, and the set up for the next is not enough to interest me. I found the main characters whiny and irritating and my favourite characters got near no development or were killed off. It felt like some plot lines were made just for the drama and to meet a page count, when they would have been so much more interesting from a different perspective or with a different outcome. If you wanted to read about Reid exploring his magic with Lou and their fight against Morgane, you will be sorely disappointed. There’s mostly whining, Lou going crazy, and pointless wandering in the woods. Save your time and energy with this one.
