This has been my favorite read of this series so far. Once again there were some parts that dragged out and I had to trudge through to finish, but the things that come to light and discoveries that are made had me sitting on the edge of my seat excited to read and learn more. Poppy is still a freaking badass. Casteel and Kieran are just 😍 I do wonder each book just how much more Poppy is going to have to deal with. Poor girl needs a break 🥺🤣 I am following an alternative reading and am jumping to Flesh and Fire book 1 and am excited to dive back in!

not a fan of the continuous use of the words “male” and “female” when they could be replaced with other words. terminology and a little predictability urged me to knock off half a star.

Holy shit. This blew me away. While I love the romance and smut elements, this book shines when it leans into the fantasy side of the genre

While this book and series could have more internal consistency with regards to where technology and clothing construction are at (which is just the clothing historian I me nitpicking), the building of the fantasy elements really distracts from it for me.

I also love the  development of Poppy into a more assured individual, and the exploration of her relationships outside of Casteel. Especailly with Keiran, the conversation

in the tunnels after Casteel was captured and Lyra killed? It broke me

Any way, I can be found mailing zippers to atlantia, because with the level of tech they should have they should have zippers.

God this series has tanked for me. Like every other chapter had some sort of "major" revelation. I needed some consistency this book could not provide. The overused trope of Poppy being relatively innocent is getting old as hell too. I do enjoy how badass Poppy is and how much she is growing physically and emotionally but I swear this next book has to be better because I BARLEY made it through these last 50 pages.
