I went into this with very low expectations because I was sooo disappointed by the recent Fairyloot sequels (Foxglove, Lightbringer, Cage of Dreams) but this was fun!

It was very different from the first book with a different setting and a lot of new characters, so it feels a bit disjointed but at the heart of it we still have Alessa and Dante and they are my sweethearts 🫶🏻

There's kinda OW drama (but also not??) and either way, you know I HATE that shit ughhh 😐

The pacing was really good at first but towards the end it draggged and that's probably when it went down from 4 stars to 3 for me!

I think if I read these back to back I would've liked it more because with the long wait I honestly just forgot loads of the characters lol 

Also: authors should start being brave enough to kill characters again!!
