I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The relationships between characters are fun and believable. The system is fascinating, and although the plot is a bit predictable, there is still plenty of surprises.

Oh….my god. Couldn’t put this down. When I tell you even when I had a glimmer of an idea of what was going on this book still had me screaming with the mystery and whatever the hell is happening with these two.

3.5

boy did this give me a whiplash in the best way possible

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the characterisation but in the beginning I was very confused about what was the deal with this universe. also, pretty sure the consent in this book was very questionable at certain times. 
I am curious as to what else is going to happen in this series so I'm going to keep reading.

It took me longer than I expected to finish because I stopped so many times to cry for someone's death and take time to recover from those emotional turmoils. I guess it might be the reason why I cannot give it a 5 stars as I strongly dislike seeing those people whom Poppy loved die on page. The idea and world building was very interesting. I now understand why so many people like this one and how it became popular. 

Heat: 🔥 (Honestly I think the hottest scene happened at the Red Pearl instead of chapter 33)

GUYS. THIS BOOK. I know I'm like years too late but now, I'm fully obsessed, too.

It is a tad long at times (as is all romantisch) but honestly, waiting for Hawke makes it all worth it 😉

The sexual tension these two have? Off. The. Charts. Like, even when

he's fully betrayed her but then he's bandaging her wounds

and it's just like?? Am I into this now?? Yeah apparently lol

Is the plot life changing? No, but you know what it is: FUN. I was fully out of my Romantasy phase and now I'm ready to jump in again and read about more broody dark-haired bad boys again.

Perfect read to end out the year <3
