This book was a lot of nothing in between 2-3 really big reveals honestly. It felt like the plot would go in a direction, then nothing would come of it for hundreds of pages until the end. The ending felt rushed and like she was trying to tie up all the loose ends scattered through the book. Also, beware of chapter 17 if you struggle with SA content.

I honestly try to find something positive in most books. I rate on vibes and tend to rate high. But I can't do either for this book. First, I'm really tired of labeling something NA being an excuse to just cram in tons of smut for no real purpose. I can at least understand if the scene is an important part of the plot (though I would argue you don't need to be descriptive or graphic even in that case), however, there is basically no plot to this book. It's a string of these scenes (many of which are hallucinated, for lack of a better world) broken up by Emilia's determinations to avenge her sister while not actually doing much of anything. Even the loss of her magic is barely noticed or referenced though it should be a HUGE plot point because she's too busy thinking about seducing or being seduced by Wrath. The one "big reveal" I saw coming from the middle of the last book. The other big reveal does have me intrigued *just* enough to listen to the third book, but if I wasn't listening to the free audiobook from my Library I would not be continuing. Also, I used the skip forward 30 seconds A LOT in this book and don't feel like I missed anything actually important. I lost a lot of respect for Emilia in this book that I don't think can be redeemed, but we'll see.

Dude I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea what was happening a solid 1/3 of the time in this book - I think the author THINKS things are clear, but until she explicitly says them it’s all confusing.
That being said… I ate this shit up 😂
