Also, if anyone happens to see this. This book should have a trigger warning for SA. The way Casteel treats Poppy's consent is awful. On that, I hate their relationship. It isn't even well developed enough to call toxic. It doesn't make any sense why these two are so deeply in love. Poppy should hate him. And no, I do not accept the "explanation" provided in the story.
The worldbuilding is as shallow as a glass of water you spilled on your kitchen floor at 3am. Throwing in random details does not a well-built fantasy world make.
If anyone was wondering, there are 604 ellipsis in this book. Yes, I counted so my numbers could be slightly off.
Moderate: Violence and Sexual assault

The plot of the story was already not fast moving and it slows majorly in this book.
My struggle with this book is that the FMC/narrator THINKS TOO MUCH. 😂 Her internal monologue is repetitive and long. Towards the end of the book I started just skipping her thoughts and moving on to the next dialogue to cope. But getting to the plot advancement was worth it.
