I thought the writing would get better as the series went. It felt very YA. Got bored.

J’ai lu ce livre en deux soirées malgré sa lenteur et son manque d’action, ce qui est paradoxal. Mais pour autant il n’était pas du tout ennuyant, étant donné qu’on a pas mal de révélations sur Willa, qui elle est vraiment et l’univers dans lequel elle évolue.
Ce tome 4 est pour moi un tome de transition pour le tome final, avec des éléments qui sont importants pour la suite des événements.
Le dynamisme donné à cette saga est essentiel et l’humour de Willa rythme très bien les différents tomes, même quand il ne se passe pas grand-chose les réparties de Willa ajoutent un plus, ou même les situations dans lesquelles elle peut être.
J’aime vraiment beaucoup notre protagoniste qui depuis le début reste elle-même et ne devient pas inutile ou qui ne décide pas de changer de façon de penser pour plaire aux autres. La seule chose qui évolue sa confiance en elle qui va augmenter au fur et à mesure et elle va se rendre compte de sa valeur.

Really loved this. I still think our main characters are missing some big connections that seem fairly obvious, but I don't even care, because I loved it.
Some spoilery bits, for discussion:
- This potentially makes Willa stronger than Staviti. After all, Staviti was just a dweller, but Willa was born half a god.
- I'm so happy she was able to raise Emmy. My heart was breaking, but I just could not imagine them not being able to move into eternity together as sisters.
- So the imprisonment realm is no threat to Willa, right? Unless someone manages to get her and all 5 of the boys at the same time, her whole soul will never be in there so she can always find her way back out. I wonder if the reverse is true for the boys - the piece of Willa they have will always let them find their way back out to her? Seems like that's probably a no, or Jakan could have been able to use Willa's mom to get out.
- So did Staviti just break Minatsol by sucking all the life out of it, to further empower the gods? Because when he was born it wasn't a wasteland, so something like that had to have happened. It begs the question: what IS the connection between Minatsol and Topia?
- How sentient IS Topia? It feels like something had a hand in bringing all these threads together. And I feel positive that the panteras gave Willa those chains knowing they'd be used on her, so she could talk to Jakan. I feel like that's why she got such a strong THIS IS A TRAP vibe from them.
- Guys, the dickhead thing was the best thing I've ever read. I was laughing so hard I couldn't stay upright on the couch. I nearly fell off it.
- Rau is going to be a problem, and Pica probably will as well. Only half his soul was in the imprisonment realm, and he said this wasn't over. I think Pica and Rau may be soul-bonded. And if Pica finds out that Willa killed Rau, I think she will FLIP.
- If Rau is able to come back somehow with his partial soul, I have to wonder: why don't ALL the gods soul-bond? Like, it seems like a major safety measure.
Really love this series. And I have to say, I'd avoided reverse harem as a genre because I hate love triangles, and so my assumption was that I wouldn't like this either. Also, my assumption was that reverse harem was exemplified by LKH. But I love this. It is beautiful and I love their relationship. I love how they anchor each other, and the open affection and heart.

Spoiler
- So Jakan is her father, right? Somehow? And her mother loved him ... I feel like the reason half her soul was in there with him was because they were soul bonded. And that also explains why she was such a mess of a mother with Willa and Emmy. I mean, her soul was torn apart.- This potentially makes Willa stronger than Staviti. After all, Staviti was just a dweller, but Willa was born half a god.
- I'm so happy she was able to raise Emmy. My heart was breaking, but I just could not imagine them not being able to move into eternity together as sisters.

I’m suffering with withdrawal symptoms already!! Seriously I’m like a drug addict looking for her next fix! I love Willa, and the Abcurses, I love their sense of humour and sarcasm and I just cannot stop reading. I don’t want to give anything away for this book, but as a whole, I honestly have never laughed out loud so much to a series before this one, lets just say on my journeys to and from work I get some funny looks on the trains, but that’s what makes the series so brilliant, the fact you feel you’re right there along with Willa and you feel involved with the story line. What Jaymin and Jane have done here is absolutely amazing and they are some seriously talented authors!
