The plot.... emaculate. The romance...... enticing. These things really make this book a five for me. Just like in the second book they really make up for some of the writing that can start to pull me from the story. Sometimes some of the ways characters choose to say certain things seems off for the setting of the book. And I understand...... she has questions but why is it brought up AND responded to every 2 minutes. Occasionally is funny but after a while it can be too much.

not a fan of the continuous use of the words “male” and “female” when they could be replaced with other words. terminology and a little predictability urged me to knock off half a star.

4.0

Holy shit. This blew me away. While I love the romance and smut elements, this book shines when it leans into the fantasy side of the genre

While this book and series could have more internal consistency with regards to where technology and clothing construction are at (which is just the clothing historian I me nitpicking), the building of the fantasy elements really distracts from it for me.

I also love the  development of Poppy into a more assured individual, and the exploration of her relationships outside of Casteel. Especailly with Keiran, the conversation

in the tunnels after Casteel was captured and Lyra killed? It broke me

Any way, I can be found mailing zippers to atlantia, because with the level of tech they should have they should have zippers.

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.
