This has been my favorite read of this series so far. Once again there were some parts that dragged out and I had to trudge through to finish, but the things that come to light and discoveries that are made had me sitting on the edge of my seat excited to read and learn more. Poppy is still a freaking badass. Casteel and Kieran are just 😍 I do wonder each book just how much more Poppy is going to have to deal with. Poor girl needs a break 🥺🤣 I am following an alternative reading and am jumping to Flesh and Fire book 1 and am excited to dive back in!

3.0

God this series has tanked for me. Like every other chapter had some sort of "major" revelation. I needed some consistency this book could not provide. The overused trope of Poppy being relatively innocent is getting old as hell too. I do enjoy how badass Poppy is and how much she is growing physically and emotionally but I swear this next book has to be better because I BARLEY made it through these last 50 pages.

This was so fun to return to as an audiobook! I'm excited to re-read A Shadow in the Ember with Stina narrating next!

I really wanted to give this book 5 stars but it's obvious that it wasn't throughly edited and there was A LOT that could be cut out making it easier to read and you wouldn't lose anything from the plot of the story. I don't need 2 paragraphs describing everyone's appearance JLA come on.
