I- I am actually speechless. This book was amazing. The twists. The characters. The ENDING.

Reread Jan 28-30 2024 3.5/5 stars

I was excited to read this book and hoped it would be better than my House of Earth and Blood reread. I guess I can say it was better since my rating hasn't changed since my first read. I was really into it in the beginning up to like 20-30%. After that it got a little too long for me at times. It was still fun but I wasn't as invested until the ending. Obviously the ending is epic, even knowing what happens, I had fun rereading it.

I think the biggest reason why this series can never be a 5 stars for me (for the first two books at least) is that I really don't care for the main characters aka Bryce and Hunt. Their romance was a lot more prevalent in this book but I was not at all invested in them apart from being happy that they were happy. Ruhn and

romance was so much better! I loved seeing how their relationship developed and how it ended. I skimmed through pretty much all smut scenes of Bryce and Hunt but could obviously not skip the one scene we got for Night and Day. My favorite characters are Ruhn,

. I can't wait to see how Ithan and Baxian will come into play in the next book!

Another thing I don't like about this series is the usage of Danika as a reason to every plot point and the way the characters react to discovering Danika's involvement. I was mentally prepared for this so it wasn't as annoying as the first time I read this, but I still think there could've been a better way.

Okay this one did not make me sob like the last one.

Instead it was an OMG, I'm not sure how I feel about that ending.
