Surprisingly took my time with this book because I realized it was not a trilogy (I read the other two books within 60 hours). I am so glad I braced myself because damn does it end when it’s getting good.

The romance is great in this one (though nothing has been able to beat the woods scene in FBAA) and seeing the vulnerability of Casteel was just amazing. My heart broke for Poppy and her lose and I definitely could relate to her hate and anger and pain.

It’s my least favorite but favorite of the three books so far. I hated the repetitive jokes, though I often find myself laughing at things that Kieran or Poppy says throughout the series. It definitely felt like a filler book for a huge chunk in the second and third quarter. But the first and last quarter? Ah-mazing. The plot twist is a little chunky but good. I’m excited to see new creatures and places in Solis. Upset I have to wait 8 months though.
