First I’m struggling to even finish this book and then I’m fucking crying. Make it make sense.

So I wasn't the biggest fan of For the Wolf. I just couldn't get into the story and found the book to be a bit of a drag at times. For the Throne wasn't as slow as the first book, which helped me get through it without feeling like I HAD to push on. But I'm still not able to connect with the story. 

You know that saying where you forget you're reading because you're so into the story? Yeah, I couldn't see past the words on the pages. I believe this was supposed to be a dark world with scary creatures but I just couldn't visualize anything in this book. And something I noticed was how much repetition was in both books. The best example I can think of would be just how many times "in my middle" was used.

Anyway, I was hoping to get more enjoyment from this duology but unfortunately, I didn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The macabre journey through the Shadowlands was full of awe-inspiring ancient gods, deep introspection, and an enemies to lovers arc that didn't feel forced although it was obvious.

I was relieved that the close relationship between Neve and Red stayed central to the story.

The book could have used some editing to winnow out repetitive prose (so much hand flexing) but it engaged me and flew by despite its length.

This was not as good as the first book. Maybe it was because of the several point of views. Or maybe I didn't like Neve's story as much as Red's. It was a good end to the series, but just didn't enjoy it as much as the first book.
