Absolutely shocked with this books ending I actually felt like I needed to sit with that ending for a day before I moved onto the next book because I was in utter shock but also happy with part of the ending.

So so good but nervous for the next one for some reason

3/5★

segundo libro de la trilogía de emilia y wrath.

lo cierto es que con este libro tengo sentimientos encontrados. porque me ha parecido que ha tenido escenas increíbles y que realmente me han gustado muchísimo y me han parecido geniales. pero también es cierto que ha habido partes que se me han hecho más aburridas y pesadas de leer.
personalmente, tanto tira y afloja entre emilia y wrath se me ha hecho bastante pesado de leer. sentía que era como si estuviera leyendo todo el tiempo lo mismo. dan un paso hacia delante y al momento dos pasos hacia atrás. y a mí se me hace tedioso.

por otra parte, emilia me ha sacado de quicio en bastantes ocasiones en este libro. en el primer libro de la trilogía, emilia me encantó. me pareció un personaje muy guay y me pareció fantástica, pero sinceramente en este libro se me ha hecho muy pesada.
sin embargo, wrath cada vez me está gustando más. en este libro se le conoce más y se sabe más sobre él y es un personaje que me ha gustado mucho a lo largo del libro.

y ese plot twist del final ha sido increíble. lo que se descubre me ha parecido muy interesante y tengo ganas de continuar con el tercer y último libro para saber qué ocurre con todo.

así que en general ha sido un libro que no ha estado mal porque como he dicho, ha habido cosas que me han gustado mucho y las he disfrutado, pero también ha habido varias cosas que no me han gustado tanto.
en rasgos generales, diría que me ha gustado menos que el primer libro.

Okay I’ll admit this was better than the first. Whether it was because the writing was exponentially better or I was further attached to the characters, this story drew me in and kept me hooked from the beginning. My only complaint(s), again, was the length of Emelia’s inner monologue and the amount of twist and turns the author included. It became confusing for me over time, and I often struggled to figure out what the hell was going on. Does anything from the first book even matter? It seems as though everything we learned was completely re-arranged, if not gutted, in the sequel. Still, I enjoyed Wrath’s character – even if the revelation that he was the devil was a no-brainer. I look forward to completing this series through Audible, as I find that’s the best way to keep me entertained with this series.

Note: can we STOP saying this is YA?? Granted I read a lotttt of dirty things (thank you fanfiction) in my younger years, but this is absolutely not a young adult book. It should be marketed as New Adult if anything
