2.0

God was this painful. The last two books could’ve been one if she’d just shaved away the bullshit. This one’s filler mostly consisted of preachy monologues about what SA is and why it’s wrong. Which is true but didn’t need to be in here 😩 Also spoilers…..

Bro they totally went Bella and Edward when she ascended. With the world ending around them, she woke up and they proceeded to fuck 3 or 4 times before addressing ANYTHING else.

4.0

This book is pretty depressing for the first third or half, and kind of a slog. I appreciate that Armentrout isn't afraid to depict the psychological and physical abuse Kolis puts Sera through, and the effect it has on her, but it doesn't make for the most fun reading, and I missed Ash's and Sera's dynamic a lot (although the dream scenes were definitely a good salve). Everything Sera learns is interesting, though, and her slow realization of her own power and will is captivating. The back half or third of the book picks up a lot, and once Ash was back in the picture I basically breathed a sigh of relief lol. It's obviously inevitable that somehow some way he'll love her, and yet the journey to get there was lovely.

first two thirds of the bill is incredibly dark, graphic confinement, misogyny, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical violence, gaslighting. Do not tread into this lightly.

2.5

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry for the 2.5 stars (I love you Sera and Ash!!) but I wasn’t the biggest fan of like the first 400 pages tbh. There’s just too much talking:(
The rest was great and all but idk this did feel kind of unnecessary and too loooong.
Best thing about this book was Attes’ character being explored more.
