Harbinger of the end. Destroyer of realms.

In this book, we see Cat and Griffin going on another quest to save the world. And again we see how little and truly Cat knows about herself and what she is expected to always be: a leader:
"It's time to be the person you were meant to be, Cat. You don't just have to make decisions and stand by them now. You have to live with them.”

Spoiler ahead! 
The first 5% of the book traumatized me.  I never expected Griffin to practically destroy their bed (not in a good way) and scare Cat like that.
her being the lost princess…
 
He actually scared me a little. His persona did a whole 180. But then, on the next chapter, everything is forgiven and Cat forgives him so easily. 
Another thing about this book, is that it has so much actions. So many trials going on. This story is heavily action detailed oriented.
And again Cat has somehow unexplainable rare powers…
-
Besides that, I love that we get to see Cat bond with Kato. His care and protectiveness and loyalty to both Griffin and Cat is somewhat comforting? 
-
Cat and Griffin sexual escapades continues. Sometimes they are spicy and others repetitive. But the soulmates love is very well present:

"You're the shield, and I'm the sword. Together, we'll forge a new world.”


In this book, Griffin is somewhat more obsessively protective?sheltering?paranoid? over Cat. 
We also get to see Cat being a little possessive as well. They are certainly attached to the hip:


“I'll still run, Griffin. The difference now is that I'll run to you."


“He’s my hunger and my food, my thirst and my water, my air and my every breath.”

W: violence; blood; murder; death; grief

Note from 40% read: That first chapter GOT me, man. Anyway Cat is somehow MORE annoying now and Griffin has lost all personality aside from “grr I love Cat nothing threatens Cat” and it’s really disappointing because I loved their banter in the first half of the first book. I am so over the trope of Girl Who Hates Herself and Will Sacrifice Herself for Others x Gruff Dude Who Loves Her and Gets Angry When She Puts Herself Down and Won’t Let Her Danger Herself in Anyway. Like what happened to indestructible Cat from book 1?

There were again very predictable plot points
(hi, not-so-subtle pregnancy clues)
, but I’m still so far enjoying the story of this world and am excited to continue reading.
