Not going to lie, the first like quarter to half of this book was a bore. It was so slow and nothing was happening. And then it took a turn and was back to back information and twists and turns and intriguing. Overall I still liked the book and I still loved the characters, but the first portion easily could've been condensed to like 3 chapters tops. Can't wait to see how the next book of B&A goes and intertwines with F&F.

this could’ve been an email

too much talking and everything relevant happened in 15 pages snippets

“Dear readers,
Seraphena and Nyktos entomb Kolis (but we already knew that) and Sera decrees that her name shall be forgotten to prevent Sortoria’s soul from rising as the Primal of Life and Death. Oh, and Callum has the star with Sortoria’s soul for some reason (because that’s balance<3)
xoxo”

the only good thing about this book was Attes, I love you bro🫶🏻🫶🏻
I cannot stand Nyktos and Seraphena, my God. Maybe just don’t kill one million people whenever someone breathes at you wrong. I literally wanted to rip my hair out when Nyktos would SNARL at people for looking at Sera, get a grip, you’re like 250 years old. Also, why did everyone speak like a five year old? Why do we need to say fuck in every sentence? Why was this 700 pages long😫
Books 1 and 2 were some of my favorite books I’ve ever read (same goes for fbaa) so imagine my disappointment:))

Very slow to start and the final battle was a bit underwhelming. But good book overall and it makes me excited for the next one!

It was admittedly hard to get through this book because of how slow the plot progressed but the ending really carried most of the weight of the 5 star rating
