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 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.

Loved Poppy’s level of badassery in this book.
Loved Isbeth as a villain, she is such a good villain. We love to HATE her, the fucked up twisted vengeful psycho with a weird way of showing love.
Some of the scenes were harrowing, JLA has no problems killing children, be warned. I can imagine this playing out on a screen and it being worse than Game of Thrones when it comes to gore and blood and horrible deaths.
The book felt long, and at times super confusing even if I read and then reread slowly. There is soooo much information.
Glad I read A Shadow In The Ember before this book as we got a lot of background knowledge from Sera and Nyktos’ story which tied into Poppy’s.
Overall a great book with goosebump worthy moments but drops points because there’s just so much to wrap your head around and it’s not always explained well enough to help me do that.
Satisfactory ending? Yes another cliff hanger.
