This book was everything and more than I ever could have hoped for!!!

So much happened in this book, but the story was done in a good pace that it didn't feel overwhelming. I loved the character development, all of theses characters have scars and issues, and they way they work through them and grow through the book is so perfect! They all have so much more room to grow, I am excited to see what happens in the next 3 books!!

There were some surprises throughout, which made the story even more exciting!! 
The slow burn between Ophelia & Tolek was so good!! When things FINALLY started heating up it was perfect!!! 
I also loved some of the other romances that started in this book, I can't wait to see what happens in those!!

The ending of this book was honestly really well done!! This particular war was ended well, but the build up for the big thing to happen with the angels and other characters storylines leaves you wanting more but not completely emotionally crushed!! (Which I truly appreciate!! Lol)

All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this book!! Probably my favorite one of all 3 so far!!

LOVED IT.

I am just absolutely hooked on this series. I am in love with progression of both the story and the writing. Each book has gotten better and better and the way I love these characters is INTENSE.

The pacing here is slowed down a bit, but NOT in a bad way. There’s clearly a build to the last two books and I am anxious to see where those go. This also allowed for amazing character growth across the entire cast. I loved seeing both main romantic pairings (trying not to say specifics because spoilers) lean on each other and take steps on their own. This book is engaging and still has those intense action scenes where you’re not sure who’s going to make it back out.

PLUS. There were some amazing reveals that had me questioning the entire world and I love that. This world and magic system is growing even more and I love how the it’s been laid out. And I love that this book has spice without overshadowing the story. Emotional depth and connection is my favorite and there’s that in heaps here.

Another beautiful installment. I am obsessed with many scenes throughout (and my kindle highlights will back me up). If you’re now seeing this review, go back and start this series!! Absolutely worth it.
