I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first one, but I did still enjoy it. There are certain parts that felt a bit too drawn out and there are certain things that get repeated too often (gee I wonder what Cas smells like?). But I do mostly like the characters (many more than Poppy and Cas) and I do enjoy the plot. Medium pace fantasy novel with a decent spice level. Interested to see if the third one bounces back for me.

I’m low-key disturbed, and I also have no idea what this plot is; however, I can’t stop reading it, so….

Entertaining. The plot is really good and the action and violence was intense. 

I like how many different characters there were and I easily began to find favorites among them. I look forward to the next novel.
