I found myself going on a love/ hate roller coaster the entire time with this book. Between questionable toxic relationships, deep set misogyny (humans) , love and desire and plot twists.

you found out that caelum is caldris and estrellas his mate, but what is she ?

Ultimately I loved this book.

I reallyyy wanted to love this series… 

Nothing really happens for the first 60% of the book, and it’s getting to the point where withholding answers is more irritating that intriguing. I love an info dump, and this does not have it, which is fine! Just not to my tastes…
The main character’s inner monologue is insufferable, I much prefer it when she starts killing people without regard and both loving & having sex without the guilt!!

I am enjoying the plot twists

Good development to the storyline from the first book with the mystery around Estrella & I liked the introduction of the side characters. Good world building but I felt this book dragged a lot more than the 1st one and at times scenes between the two MCs felt unnecessary or cringey.

There is almost entirely no plot. 90% of this book is smut. We finally start getting somewhere in the end chapters and then it ENDS?! I thought this was a duology (I’m dumb) and now I have to read two more books, neither of which are even published yet. What the hell. Guaranteed this and the next two books could be combined into 1 book if you eliminated 30 out of 35 sex scenes (approximately). I’m all for the spice but give me the story too!
