This book has some solid moments. Good medium spice…some of the time. MMC came off as a creep for 70% of scenes. Poppy is not a good narrator. I will say, her world building is kind of all over the place but it almost feels like I will accept whatever to get to the next chapter!

Best filler book I've ever read 🫶🏻

Things we don't have: 

• plot

Things we do have:

• Sexual tension
• Lots of traveling (is there a "only one horse" trope?)
• Casteel once again murdering people for Poppy
• Weirdly sexual but hot scenes of Casteel drinking Poppy's blood
• Kieran and Casteel obvi being ready for a threesome
• Casteel caring for Poppy's wounds *sobs*
• yeah i think that's it

I feel like this book moved a lot quicker than the first. Lots of stuff happening to tie in a lot of plot points. Casteel has thankfully grown on me!!! Poppy too. Kind of just a fun world to read and not necessarily have too much attachment to. 

So Poppy is half-Atlantian, granddaughter of the Ascended, and now descendant of the King of the Gods (which is ??).
