The series is getting pretty ridiculous with so many complex layers of god/deity/primal/whatever and they’re all different and we should know that and be able to keep track … I honestly don’t know how the author is even able to keep track of every new revelation that’s happened in this series or book. I stopped trying to actually follow and just wanted to know what happened with Poppy and Casteel. Probably won’t read the next one

Taka potężna Poppy a tak łatwo daje się prowokować swojej matce. 
Już myślałam, że to nareszcie koniec, a tu się okazało, że jednak będę się musiała zmusić do czytania kolejnych części

I have to admit I went back and forth with this book. There were some moments I really liked and there were others I was very upset about.

I love Cas. I love Kieran. I love Reaver. There are other characters I love but these are probably my favorites. They’re witty and sarcastic and also loveable. I feel like Poppy really grew throughout this book especially.

I did find it a little irritating that they were overly confident and kept underestimating Isbeth. Her death was satisfying. Go Poppy. I have to say I am so freaking glad we finally got the joining and it was sexual. The joining was definitely spicy but it was also beautiful and sweet. They give me throuple vibes but it’s sweet how much they care for each other

.

I do feel like Armentrout does fall into this cycle of repetition that kind of drags on but I really like the actual storyline so I look past the repetitive jokes that have lost their effect and the repetitive info for the general story that I’m really enjoying.

1.5

While the previous instalments in this series were also not high quality novels, at least they kept me hooked due to the sexual tension, pace, and such. This was the first novel in the series that I had difficulty finishing. There is lot of focus on certain elements, and again significant repetition in internal and external dialogue that is annoying, while other aspects lack attention and development. The world-building and character development get overshadowed by the writing style.

ALSO, I finally got the threesome I was hoping for, but it was disappointing to say the least
