I'll be honest this definitely felt like it had less substance than the first book and had no idea what was going on with the plot. However for some reason I couldn't stop reading ? I don't know, I objectively know it's not great but here we are finished and most likely going to finish the series when the last book is released next year
I just don’t like the characters very much. Both are very Daenerys season 8
I went from loving book one to DNFing book two because:
In the first book, I hated the reveal that Isolde is Yesenia reincarnated (for lack of a better word) and in this book, obviously it’s a regular part of Isolde’s character, but no I have to constantly be confronted with it while still hating it.
I think it’s cool that many of the side characters are queer, but I never really felt connected to them, and that continued to be true in this installment.
I loved Adrian and Isolde’s relationship in the previous book, but here Adrian kept scolding her. It was PMO and Isolde was just kind of… blah. She was almost comically girl-boss in the previous book, but now seems to have lost her bloodthirsty spark. Also, now “Yesenia” is a factor in their relationship, and as previously stated, I hate that.
But mostly, I’m just bored. Bored, bored, bored. I’m not even a tiny bit curious on how the series ends, so why continue? If this had been a duology, I think I would have pushed through, but knowing there’s a confirmed third book and most likely five in the series? No thank you. It’s not like St. Clair has a good track record with me.

This book felt very long. I was so excited to read this after reading the first book and was very disappointed. This book was very boring and felt very repetitive.
