This book made me feel like I was reading ACOTAR again in a way. Some of the main characters had a good amount of depth too them but wished I got more from others. It has a few plot twists that made me confused as to where the plot was gonna go but still really enjoyed it. Still upset that one of my favorite characters died but it’s ok, I’ll survive 🥲

Okay up front you’re going to be confused for the first dozen chapters of the book. The author info dumps about the world in no particular order and doesn’t explain things in detail for a good while. The foreshadowing is a bit obvious for a lot of things but the reveals are still interesting. With a more straightforward world building set up and more character development this would’ve been a five star book. However it’s captivating enough that about a third of the way through I was snorting it like crack lol I hope the next book is even better!

Re-reading this as an audiobook was such a delight! Stina Nielsen does an impeccable job bringing Poppy and Hawke to life. My only gripe is that there was some inconsistency with the voice choices of different characters, so it was sometimes hard to keep track of who was speaking at specific times.

dubious consent about 75% through due to

Poppy not being fully aware of Hawke/Casteel's identity when she consented to having sex with him

I LOVED this book! It has it all: fantasy, mystery, SEX! It also has a diverse set of characters, even though you don’t really learn how diverse until the later books (POC, LGBTQ+ characters, disabled characters, etc.) 

I honestly had no idea where this book was going at any time. I can usually see plot twists before they happen, but I was SHOCKED!
