I have such mixed feelings on this book. I am exhausted with Bree being a damsel in distress except when her powers suddenly blow up. I'm glad it seems like the next book will actually be focusing on her getting better with her abilities, because this book kind of acted like she was going to but she never actually got to. It feels like the magic system is barely more understandable in this book either. I want a lot of clarification. I also personally get annoyed by love triangles and I want that to work out but also I get that they have other things going on right now. I don't know how I felt about the whole
possession arc and the ending.
I'm hoping I'll like the next book better - I really want to love this series and the way it's playing with mythos and history, and I love when the book touches on those (Dr. Hazel, Valec, and all the people she met during that section of the book were some of my favorites), but I'm sick of Bree basically being dragged around and constantly scolded.
