This is why I can't read books by the same author back to back or too quickly after one another, I start to notice the repetitive parts of the series and it doesn't hit as well. This installment took me forever to get through, but I'd still like to continue with the series I just need some space from it for a bit.

This was great in keeping with the rest of the series but for me it has too little of the outcome with Raphael’s mom. There was sooo much building of the potential of what Caliane’s power could mean and what she could want from Raphael that the expectation of what the climax would be was not met. It was interesting and action-packed as can be expected. There was a perfect blend of romance and action, but we didn’t make much progress with the overarching plot in this book and I thought that would mean we got another book featuring Elena and Raphael but it seems like with Book 4, we will be shifting speed and getting Dmitri’s story which is good- but he featured so lightly in this book that I’m less excited about his book than I would have been after Books 1 or 2- unless of course we’re being set up for more overarching archangel drama. Still super invested in this series and looking forward to more.
