Cas/Poppy and Nyktos/Sera are everything. These may be some of my favorite couples 🥵 Parts of this one did drag out for me and got a little just meh, but the last part had me going through so many emotions that it just made up for the rest of the book. I went from tense to anxious, nervous, mad, sobbing, hopeful, ecstatic, to being anxious again for what's to come. I do feel that the ending was rushed, and I have sooo many questions and plots running through my head. And I swear if one hair is touched on Kieran, Reaver, or Delano, I will riot. PS I love that the girls are so strong and badass.

!!! spoilers ahead !!!
1) in the first 3 books we get so many secondary characters, like delano, niall, emil, vonetta etc. but in TWOTQ we barely get anything about them. of course I'm happy that kieran and poppy's relationship developed more in this one but I would've loved more of the others too. especially since tawny appeared again too.
2) the way poppy's parentage and powers keep changing each book is getting kinda weird and very confusing. I get that it's a big universe with a lot of new information but I can't keep up.
3) there was such a good opportunity for the joining to become a relationship between kieran, poppy and casteel but it didn't happen. the joining felt off to me. they've all expressed deep seeted love for one another but somehow kieran and casteel didn't even kiss once but both had sex with poppy...? it just doesn't seem right to me. the author could've done so much better but she didn't.
4) building further on the missed opportunities: kieran and reaver had such chemistry and banter and literally nothing came from it.
anyway, I enjoyed it but it was lacking in many departments.

Yeah um that was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I saw nearly everything coming a mile away but it didn't matter because the journey there was stunning.
JLA is truly at her best with the sweeping grand climatic scenes, and there is plenty of that on display here.
All the issues I had with this book (and series) come down to the editing. Some of it was grammar, some of it was world building issues. Publishing houses really need to start asking authors 'what level of technological development is this world at?', 'where did the characters get this item?', and 'is current slang applicable to this world?'
