I still don’t care about Nadya and Malachiasz and their relationship.
The plot dragged immensely and character motivations felt incomprehensible to me. The only reason I’m even going to finish the third book is because I want to discuss it with a friend whose already finished the trilogy. Am I going to regret doing so? Probably.

Plot threads started to fall, more appearing from nowhere. The themes became obvious and poor grammar mistakes throughout.

booksthatburn's review against another edition
I started reading this a week after reading the first book, WICKED SAINTS, and I don't know what's happening or why I should care. I mention the timeframe to make it clear that my confusion is not a result of waiting a long time between reading the first book and picking up the sequel. I'm perfectly fine being confused by a book, there are some I've praised for being fascinating while also spending a long time being largely incomprehensible. But I just can't get into the central motivation of "girl must save demon nightmare boy from something (???) by doing something (???)". I can handle a book being boring for a little while, and I'm fine with confusion, but this combination of unclear stakes, revelations without enough tension, general lack of context, and a plot I just can't get into means I'm going ahead and stopping now.
