WTF?! This book is a roller coaster ride and the ending is… ugghh. The spicy scenes are A1 but there’s too much happening for true character development and too much to unpack. Reading the 3rd when it’s out bc I must know what happens next… but also, what the actual 🤬

Hmmm. I feel like it was missing something, it could be that there was not much going on for a large part of the book. It could also be that plot twist at the end too. 

Queen of Myth & Monsters is a unique idea. Isolde’s development of her abilities is a smooth transition, however I wish her relationship with Adrian would move beyond miserable communication. He’s an asshole, she’s a bitch. We get it.
