I swear the only reason I’ve kept going in this series is because of the cliffhangers!!!! Otherwise, the series as a whole falls flat for me in terms of what I want in a fantasy book (strong world building, complex magic systems, politics) but this book really kicks in with the interesting dynamics of polyamory and the SPICE. Delivers in that for sure lol. Most interesting of the books so far and the FMC has lost her whiny streak thank gods.

DNFing at 75% I just can’t.

This review summed up my feelings on the Nox situation perfectly (and one of the exact reasons I’m DNFing): https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5329431314

Although the plot is simple and feels a bit repetitive, I enjoy the banter between the characters and the building of this world that they all live in. I like the cult theme and how this whole community interacts.

The spice has really been kicked up a notch but I'm really anticipating the full Bond Group bang.
