Flowery prose doesn't equal good writing. This was my first Scarlett St. Clair and I wasn't impressed. The plot points were predictable AF. A monotonous magic system. The story itself was very tell and not show. Which is one of my biggest pet peeves. The characters lacked depth. So I didn't care when people died. Lilith was annoying. Zahariev was typical. It felt like just another run of the mill Romantasy by an author writing sub-par books.

My first Scarlett St. Clair book and now I need to start going through her backlist.  I don't read a lot of urban fantasy but this book may entice me to read more.  
The characters were well rounded and I was rooting for them.  The religious overtones were on point and slightly scary considering current world politics.  
I enjoyed the storyline and can't wait to see where the story goes next.
