not a fan of the continuous use of the words “male” and “female” when they could be replaced with other words. terminology and a little predictability urged me to knock off half a star.

Holy shit. This blew me away. While I love the romance and smut elements, this book shines when it leans into the fantasy side of the genre

While this book and series could have more internal consistency with regards to where technology and clothing construction are at (which is just the clothing historian I me nitpicking), the building of the fantasy elements really distracts from it for me.

I also love the  development of Poppy into a more assured individual, and the exploration of her relationships outside of Casteel. Especailly with Keiran, the conversation

in the tunnels after Casteel was captured and Lyra killed? It broke me

Any way, I can be found mailing zippers to atlantia, because with the level of tech they should have they should have zippers.

God this series has tanked for me. Like every other chapter had some sort of "major" revelation. I needed some consistency this book could not provide. The overused trope of Poppy being relatively innocent is getting old as hell too. I do enjoy how badass Poppy is and how much she is growing physically and emotionally but I swear this next book has to be better because I BARLEY made it through these last 50 pages.

1/3 of the book could be edited out due to repeated  redundant scenes emphasizing how amazing
Poppy is and how much  Cass loves her. It just got to be too much 

I persevered and now I’ve got to the intense ending I HAVE to move in to the next book to find out what happens 🤷‍♀️
