I’m giving this a round up to 4 on GR because we can’t do half stars. This book was very enjoyable but a hot mess. I had so many issues with the world-building and character development. The world-building was so choppy and hard to understand. I’m actually three books in and I’m still confused about many things. Not only that but this book is insanely repetitive. It’s like she was trying too hard to explain things but just muddled things even more. I didn’t need to be reminded about things 100 times when it came to Poppy and how awful her life was.

Regardless, I still had a good time with this book. I loved Cas and what he brought to the story. Poppy was decently likeable. I thought it was great that she tried to find things to rebel against and make sure she was taken care of. She didn’t care and would do what she could to help people. Armentrout did a good job with making some of chapters pretty steamy in this one. It’s my first by her and wasn’t expecting it. haha. I get why people talk about that a lot! haha.

There are several things that were predictable and easy to figure out. With that being said, it didn’t take too much away from the story. I did think that this was such an easy read. I flew through this book and these are huge. I had no idea about the page count because I was reading my kindle. I was shocked to realize how chunky these were but it didn’t feel like that at all. I will say that it did take a good chunk, maybe until 40%, before I got sucked into the story. It was kind of a slow plot until that point.
