This is literally the slow burns that ever did burn. There is so much plot and the pacing was slow. However, the story is good and I want to know more.

once again a very predictable plot. i enjoyed the book in the way that it’s just having fun with the character and how powerful she is. i wish she’d put on her thinking cap a bit more about it all though, how diem takes so long to catch on to anything is beyond me and frustrating to read. luther was so insufferable in this. way too overprotective and kinda icky. also the author had way too many speeches with declarations of love so it all just became a bit repetitive and boring.

Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure waiting for the next book in the series!! This was soooooo good. The twists and turns had me floored, and I love seeing the character development throughout.

This book is so dramatic in the best way. Obstacle after obstacle but they are all different so I didn’t grow tired of them. And the last 100 pages are a rollercoaster! I just finished and I cannot wait for the next book!!

Ok so I love this series. BUT. The whole "I'm going to beat the reader over the head with this secret for chapter after chapter, and the FMC is just going to be a moron and never figure it out" theme is present in all three books, but THIS one, THIS one is the worst.
I love a subtle hint, a little bit of a tease to let the reader know that there is something going on. Like let me think that maybe I'm thinking too much into it, it's nothing.... I'm a really dense reader too, so I usually miss the subtle hints till its too late AND THEN I'm wildly delighted when a secret is revealed!
But there were like 10 chapters in this book where *spoiler* the MMC was sweating, wincing, acting strange, looking pale, pushing his love away, looking sad, taking interest in healing supplies, telling her she had to go it alone... and the FMC who is a TRAINED HEALER, doesn't pick up on it. And it goes on and on AND ON.... And I wanted to scream. The flip flopping of having this intelligent, fiery, determined woman who cares more about others than she cares about herself to CONSISTENTLY miss these HUGE clues. It's sort of like a slap in the face to the reader (AND Diem's character) and and I was close to putting the book down. But of course I didn't because I adore this series as whole.
And this was just the most glaring example of this sort of writing, it happens A LOT in this series, but this is the most glaring example. I just wish the author left more to our imaginations without insulting us and the main character with the OBVIOUSNESS and making us power through all the annoying back and forth until the secret is actually revealed. I lost a lot of love for the FMC, Diem, in this book because of it.
I do think this book could have done with about 20% of the filler. I feel like it was unbearably long is some places. But that ending? Perfection. I was on the edge of my seat! I can't waaaaait for the last book!
