fair warning,

There are HUGE monologues in the first 50% of this book. It felt like one big monologue after the other until everyone’s secrets were out in the open. Then you had maybe an hour (with my reading speed) of some action which was just Lexi gathering the demons around some open field.
I’m also torn on how I feel about this series, I obviously loved the first book, which lead me to this one. But Malifer comes off as self sacrificing and… weak, which he complains about A LOT in ALL of this inner monologue; but I don’t think he actually is. He explains his cockiness as a front, but I’d rather that then how he was in the book, which 95% of the book is his POV.
