#2) A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal ★★★☆☆
#3) A Kingdom of Venom and Vows ★★★☆☆

I can't do cheating in books, so this was an instant nope for me. The fact that I didn't, for a single nanosecond, feel one ounce of longing from Thalia meant this did nothing for me. Mutual pining or nothing for me.

It was good, I feel some things would definitely have been solved if people talked and there were some things and were never talked about that I felt definitely should've been but it was good I like the characters and I like the world.
