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.

Honestly this book was hard for me to read because there is so much info dumping and sometimes feels a bit repetitive. Am going to push through because I want to finish this series.

The scene when we find out Ms Willa was the lady at the Red Pearl was SO GOOD. Of course it was damn

.  The ending had me going wild

and I can’t believe I have to read another book about different characters before Casteel and Poppys reunion.

First read: 5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Second read: 4.5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

No thoughts, just a few incoherent sentences.

Poppy being a morally gray badass gives me life. 

Casteel losing her and freaking on the battlefield tugged at my stone cold heart.

Poppy, Casteel, Kieran is the trio to end all trios and if there is not a threesome soon I will burst.

The plot finally came together (and it has been a LONG time coming).

I liked that neither the Atlantians nor the Ascended were innocent. Oftentimes authors pick a side when really no one is innocent during a war. There are quite a few things that Jennifer L. Armentrout does that sets her apart from others (that I already discussed in previous reviews so I won't repeat it) but just know that she's really good at her job.

Book 4: The War of Two Queens cannot come soon enough!

Definitely my favourite book of the series, poppy actually stopped asking questions every line. The ending is such a cliffhanger but I love poppy’s character development.
