If this wasn't as long as it was, it would have been a fine/fun read but the length meant it was such a slog to get through. I liked the new info we got on the gargoyle court in this one, and the family connections revealed were fun

This answered so many questions and honestly felt like it could’ve been the end of this series until the epilogue. I thought it was really cool that the epilogue held several scenes from Hudson’s POV, and that they essentially waited to have sex until Grace was over 18 (or at least that’s what I thought but maybe it was just very ambiguous fade to black). I am so sad that Calder, Xavier, Luca, Raphael, Liam, and Byron are dead. Such blows that I genuinely wasn’t sure I was gonna recover from. It’s been a hot minute since I read a book where not only characters died and didn’t come back but also that more than one character I cared about died. But Flint and Jaxon finally seem to be mates if not it’s very strained right now. I like that there were scenes talking about Flint prosthetic’s and Eden flirting with a girl, and the Non binary character Dawood. I really enjoyed them. Did not like Chastain at all.
