I liked this book, and that the author toned down the constant use of the nicknames, it made it FAR easier to read, and a lot of the new characters were enjoyable, but there was a lot of reusing sentences and some parts contradicted themselves "My hair was up" but "he had to move my hair to the side" small things like that - the part that bothered me the most is posted at the bottom as a spoiler.

Plot: 7.8/10 - there were parts that surprised me, but some of the plot just made me a little frustrated.

Spice: 9/10 - there wasn't a lot of spice, but when there was it was good!

Overall: 8/10

*SPOILERS*

Okay so the things that bothered me is:
-When one female character is riddled silly with power, don't get me wrong I like a female with power, but I feel like it was over done a little until the end then it balanced more, but other female characters should have been a wee more empowered.
-Why wouldn't she have just unalived Mab?!? That made zero sense, why go for a hand when she could have gone for the head?!
-The Mab vs. Estrella was just off, Mab is supposed to be this very powerful queen of everything that everyone is afraid of, and is centuries old, why is she showing every emotion on her face? And why is she bathing with her enemy? The dynamics just seemed way off and misplaced, unless there is some reason coming up in the next book to explain that a little more.
