Dude I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea what was happening a solid 1/3 of the time in this book - I think the author THINKS things are clear, but until she explicitly says them it’s all confusing.

That being said… I ate this shit up 😂

I’m definitely invested in this series. Finally at a least a little smut. I’m definitely rooting for twin vengeance and Wrath love. I love everyone fighting over this sexy protagonist. We can all just pretend it’s us. I love it. Now onto the next book ! I must see how all of this ends! Hoping for more smut and a wedding!

I liked this more than the first! I still have issues with some of the pacing decisions, plus Emilia's kinda annoying to me. But the story felt more focused this time around and the spice was nice!

I am once again begging authors to reducing, reusing, and recycling the same tropes.

ummm yeah I read this in a day, I will not be taking criticism at this time. this was kinda cheesy with the acotar style “you’ll always have a choice” lines, but it was okay bc the main character did have a choice every time and it wasn’t just a progressive phrase that was thrown around to make the broody guy more tolerable. in conclusion in this book we learn that apparently the devil is husband material, death is just a suggestion, and everyone has anger issues.
