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.

What a whirlwind of emotions.
Let's start with our fierce Sera, who sometimes is too hotheaded for her own good. We see her navigate her trauma and her grief, and learning to live with it. While it *kind of* annoyed me when Sera would not talk about it, I also felt like that's the reality - we try to hide our pain from the ones we love. We try to keep them shielded from our pain, so they don't hurt with us. I understood why.
Ash, being a supportive husband. Learning all the trauma his wife endured and being there for her, always. Respecting her boundaries. Showing her what being loved is. What. A. Man.
Nektas. My sweet, sweet Nektas. I really loved to see his bond with Sera in this book. It brought me to tears, sometimes. So, so beautiful.
Attes broke my heart. All the difficult decisions he had to make.
This book was spicy, more than I was expecting. Sometimes unnecessary, even some of the banter during serious moments, but it didn't take away the focus.
The conclusion of Kolis' story was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more action.
While I love Poppy and Casteel, Sera's and Nyktos's love story will always have my heart. I think this was a beautiful conclusion to an epic story. Did the first half drag a bit more than necessary? Yes. But still, this is a solid 4.5 for me.

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!

Really enjoyed this. A lot of questions were answered but I still have a lot of questions about the main series. I thought some aspects were rushed and I was hoping to see more of Sera and Nyktos as parents. Nyktos is a top tier shadow daddy and I love Nektas as well. Reaver is so precious and I loved his relationship with Sera. Overall a pretty good read!

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
