4.5

Rose spent so much time running in circles and getting side tracked it was annoying. Don’t expect her to see Dimitri until about 325 pages in. From there though things are intense. The nice thing about the slow beginning was there was more you learn about the vampire world in general. The ending is wild so be prepared.

The twist that I feared hasn’t happened (…yet?? 🙃). A twist I saw coming has, but that wasn’t terrible, it worked. There were some good surprises along the way in this one. I’m eager to finish the series and see if it wraps up the way I expect it will. 😂

I started a reread a few months ago but I was close to hitting a bad reading slump so I put it down. Luckily I annotated and wrote notes so I didn't have to start all over...just pick up where I left off. 😎

Anywho, this book has some areas that felt like filler...at the same time I totally get that they were necessary to the story. Definitely teared up a few times...and cannot wait to reread the final 2 books.
