Almost a 3 star read. A lot seemed to fall flat and become boring. The end was the only thing that saved it for me. More than 500 pages of this easily could have been reduced down to something more fast paced. I felt like
I was reading this for ever. Details that felt important seemed to get lost or forgotten. The ending was pretty good however and felt fast paced while everything else was very slow. I will likely read the final just to see what happens.

While enjoyable, my main complaint is the repetition in this book. JLA has a tendency to repeat jokes, phrases, and reiterate information a bit much in all her series, but this book really pushes it for me. Of course Poppy's going to have a million questions, she was raised in an extremely controlled environment and part of a society that's been lied to for centuries about their entire history and even the present day. Give her a break.
At this point, I'm feeling like books 1 & 2 should've been combined, and I have a feeling I'm going to think this book and book 4 should as well. The series needn't be drawn out the way she's deciding to go because it's sacrificing the quality of storytelling for readers in favor of selling more books.

I know you love to write JLA but I'm begging you to hire a new developmental editor again.

That being said, I still love Cas and Poppy (and no I won't lose my shit

when there's threesome/throuple Joining.

)
