Things I could do without - Violet's wishy/washy "I'm made, I'm not mad, he's gorgeous and I hate him"-ness. ...and that is it. That's all. I was annoyed by that and only that.

beasneaz's review against another edition
1. The plot didn’t engage me in same way that the first book did. I feel like this book does not need to be as long as it is, and the plot, up to the point where I stopped could be written in a more engaging way.
2. Rebecca Yarros co-opted the Gaelic language without doing proper research or paying homage to the language and culture she was using. This wouldn’t be okay if it was a more commonly spoken language, so she should not get a pass for a “more obscure” language such as Gaelic. She is not the only author guilty of this, but once I became aware of the issue it became too difficult for me ignore.
Graphic: Torture
Moderate: Animal death, War, Violence, Toxic relationship, and Xenophobia
