The Good
The romance was so good in the first one I had to keep it going! We got sprinkles of world-building and plot in the previous novel so I was interested to see if we get more of that here. Delora is thrown in the void for killing two people and falls from the sky onto Nameless. I really liked how complex of a character Delora is. She isn't all good and noble. She's killed two people and it has made her incredibly depressed. Nameless (Magnar) was in the first book of the series and was desperate for a human companion of his own. He tries to be kind and understanding but as a younger duskwalker he is just a huge himbo. Delora's darkness and Magnar's naïveté is a great combination. I liked how he was able to grow and change into his own person throughout the book. Delora's happiness with her pregnancy and motherhood was nice to see, especially since she couldn't have that before. I loved seeing her heal into a healthy and happy person.

The Bad
Again the Katerina stuff. I will keep booing it every time it comes up. Katerina was manipulative yes but because she literally was held against her will. It doesn't matter that Orpheus didn't understand and didn't intend for it to be that way, Katerina not falling for her captor and doing whatever she could to get what she wanted out of that situation is and will never be something I villainize her for and I wish the author learned from the previous novels reviews on how this framing is bad. The middle of this book dragged for me. I wasn't very into the pregnancy plotline. It was interesting for world-building sake but not that enjoyable to actually read. And the Demon King is a weird entity in these books. He pops up for a few chapters each book, causes some conflict, and then is gone. As an antagonist I wish he either had more build up as a problem to be solved throughout the book with a real resolution or was more interesting of a villian.
