Take two with Poppy, the gang, and their world of gods and magic. While this was probably 100 pages too long, a bit full of info dumps, and a metric fvckton of angst, I still couldn’t put it down. 

Poppy is held against her will by the Dark One himself, Casteel Da’Neer, and has to decide her fate after learning that much of what she’s always believed to be true is not. This book is full of dark secrets, two kingdoms going to head to head against each other, and the enemies-to-lovers trope going strong.

I liked FBAA, but LOVED KOFAF. Starts off a bit slow since there's some time dedicated to the aftermath of the betrayal of the last book. The only things that keep me from eating this higher is there's quite a few repetitive phrases  and there's still a lot of unnecessary inner dialogue. Cas says something, Poppy spends two paragraphs telling you how she feels, then finally we get the reply. 

But Poppy, Casteel and Kieran are the best and I love their banter. The lead up to the last quarter of the book ramps up then unleashes a whirlwind right up until the end. I am thankful to high hell that I already had the next book.
