We always fight and fuck.
That's the plot. There are some reveals in there, somewhere. Somewhere...
But that's mostly it. Isolde and Adrian fight and fuck. And do it again. And again.
I was quite angry reading it, but anger that drives me to read the next one. I'm disappointed in myself, truly, but I'm committed to the end.

the smut was so repetitive and at times, distasteful. immediate smut after a seemingly important character death made me want to slam my head against a wall.
another issue i have with this book is the odd transitions from past memories to present. i get that we are supposed to be sorta experiencing the past memories as isolde is but there was no indication that the time had changed often times and i had to reread multiple paragraphs to understand what was going on.
also i felt that as soon as the plot started moving we got another smut scene for literally no reason.
also cannot understand nearly any of adrian’s motivations…
ngl perhaps ana and sorin are right that adrian dying would be the best thing that could happen for the world at large.

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.
