A quick read but definitely not a novella. 

I enjoyed the focus on Nephele and Neri but it's mostly spice and not a whole lot of plot. 

The author sprinkled in just enough plot development to keep me interested in the series.

I think this book is best read in quick succession after City of Ruin, as it picks up moments after the end of the previous story. It took me a while to ease back into the plot and remember all of the characters after reading the second book almost a year ago. There is a lot of borderline info dumping early on but you definitely need the context of the other books to make sense of it. This is very much the second-film-in-a-trilogy book of the series, serving mostly to move characters into position for the next big plot push. There were some revelations that felt almost too convenient, clearly happening to move things along, but I don't think it would've been as jarring if City of Ruin was more fresh in my mind. I'll definitely have to do a full series reread before the fourth book comes out next month.bAll that being said, I love the way Charissa writes and I enjoyed reading this. 

I'm not a huge fan of "spicy" as a book term after my formative years in the fanfiction trenches, but the booktok girlies would like this one. Compared to the main couple in the other books these two are more forward and vulgar; it was fun, but not gratuitous. The book does end somewhat abruptly after a particularly steamy rendezvous, but again I think that's just how the series feels to me and all of the books make sense as an unbroken line.

I thought I loved this series before this book… & now I KNOW it is going to be an ALL TIME FAVOURITE! - which I will take every opportunity to tell everyone to read! (Seriously - read this series if you love a perfectly written Romantasy with smart plot twists, beautiful prose & delectable spice!) 

After the cliffhanger of B2 I was surprised how excited I was for this novella (it’s a big novella! Lol) because it follows two different characters. But I just knew it would be good because Charissa doesn’t do anything without a purpose, 
& let’s just say… I wasn’t disappointed!  

The heartbreak I felt watching the fallout from the ending of City of Ruin was palpable, the continuation of the story was intriguing BUT the romance & love story between Neri & Nephele was PERFECTION ❤️‍🔥

How can Charissa write such badass FMC’S? 
How can she write such exquisite MMC’s??? 

Because honestly I love them together more than I thought possible!!! (Also the spice 🥵 it was slow burn just like I like it, but WOW - once it got there!!)

I’m so SO excited for B4… I will inhale it just like I did this one… & ill continue to scream from the rooftops that everyone needs to read this series!!
