Yes. The ending is amazing.
No. It wasn’t worth the 800 pages it took to get there.

Im highly annoyed by this book and the fact that SJM has me by the balls cause as pissed off as I am, i HAVE to read her books. I physically cant, not read them!

But I digress! 85% of the book just isn’t good.
Its very slow, its very dry and heavy on the world building and characters and the plot just doesn’t cut it. Too many lines of plot were picked up and then sometimes forgotten so it just dragged!

To add insult to injury, the smut is mediocre AF! We were promised steam akin to ACOSF and i am sorry, but Maury determined, that was a lie! It was tame as hell and too infrequent. The book didnt need to be a smutfest but when the plot was lacking any substance, it would have helped to be uplifted by some steam.

Hunt and Ruhn are to be protected at all costs but Bryce regressed as a character and i found myself kinda losing interest in her again after her great arc in book 1. I didnt care about Ithan or Tharion, the big reveal wasnt even all that shocking and I could have done without the endless whiteboard scenes of repetitive explanation.

No. I didnt love it.
Yes. Im going to read the next book cause im clearly a sucker for punishment.

Im very pissed off that it will get high ratings online simply for the last 4 ish pages when the first 800 are bland as hell!
