Review:
Given the kind of stories I had come across in this series so far, I was rather surprised at how this one played out. This was probably the most plot heavy of any of them, and I really enjoyed reading about not only the characters and their stories, but also the lore and the magic and how things worked in this version of hell. Brady is an interesting character, and I really appreciated the amount of emphasis on how fate plays into free will and consent. Roth is really such a precious demon, and I really enjoyed the whole prophecy aspect, and how it ended up playing out. Roth's brother Milo was also another interesting character, and I found it interesting seeing the lie that he was fed and how it played out into the plot as well. I also really enjoyed some of the information we got out of the twist at the end, in particular with regards to Milo and a certain other 3 characters. I appreciate that 2 of those 3 other characters didn't have some kind of miraculous recovery from their states, and we see them trying to adapt but still struggling. It really lends itself to its own series following Milo and these other 3, and I would be happy to read about those. This is definitely a fated mates and possessive story, but I appreciate how they were not your typical of either of those tropes, and I enjoyed seeing how it all played out, and how Ripley managed to take a new angle with it.
