When being a girlboss goes wrong. I just couldn’t care about Rielle or Eliana. This should be a nuanced thing because often times male characters who exhibit the same traits and selfishness aren’t scrutinized as hard, but I just felt nothing for these ladies. I couldn’t force a connection that wasn’t there. 

Navi was way too kindhearted for this story. I wish she had more bite when Eliana was mistreating her. Audric was boring. Simon was better because he had some mystery to him. The romance was a bit microwaved, but surely it will develop more throughout the trilogy.

The alternate timelines, I suppose, were both frustrating and interesting. It took me a bit to get used to, but I think it added a unique touch. The hellish take on angels was also a unique spin.

I guess they are like mini lucifers, fallen angels

Also, take a shot of the beverage of your choice whenever you see the word “pale.” You’ll see it 100x at least.

I don't intend to be overly harsh, but I don't think this book was for me.
