I really loved it to start, and the spice was very hot and filthy in the best of ways. Somehow different than the previous books in the series. However, I will say that it got to me a bit that sometimes it felt a little inconsistent with how the characters were described versus the way they behaved. Likely this is just a product of the character being an unreliable narrator, but it stood out to me a lot more in this book. I do however love the way the main plot continues to weaves its way through each book, and I love seeing the mentions of the west coasters again! Cannot wait for the finale :)
