First off, I love Scarlett’s writing style. It’s an easy flow and very beautiful technique wise. However my gripe with this sequel is that it’s…too much?
Adrian’s character development left me feeling sour.
There is a lot of magic and introduction of new characters and creature - which is super cool - just a little hard to keep track of sometimes.
Isolde’s isn’t that bad, she continues to be a badass woman.
There’s too much going on while reading that I had to re-read some pages just to make sure I understood what was happening.
However that could be a me issue.
I did put the book down for a couple weeks which I did not do with the OG. I am curious what happens next, but in general I think that it was overwhelming at times, potentially abusive between Isolde and Adrian, and I hope more is explained in the next book.
Smut is on point, though, as always.

I had high expectations for this book. I have loved everything I have read by Scarlett St. Clair, but I struggled with this one. I feel like every issue was handled with sex, things never got figured out and were just looked over. I feel like this was a very unhealthy situation, that and sometimes it felt like Isolde didn't have genuine feelings for Adrian. It wasn't super believable for me. I also feel like the pacing for this book was so slow, not much happens until the very end. I did rate this as a 3-star, the idea is there but it could of been a bit better.
I enjoyed the first book in this series, however, the second one was a bit repetitive and I honestly can’t remember what happened here vs what happened in the first one. I will read the next, but it was not as entertaining as the first one.

Wow. This book took me on a JOURNEY! Queen of Myth & Monsters was a roller coaster of a book and had so many twists & turns I had no idea were coming. The ending of this book dropped me on my ass and left me to deal with it! I was so shocked that I actually gasped out loud. I was not expecting it to be over like that!
Adrian and Isolde together are a force to be reckoned with. I loved see them together and getting a glimpse into Adrian's head. They are like a wild fire together.
"The world is afraid of powerful women." There is a big theme of power in women and how men want to take it away. It's something that's been happening in our world since the start and something we continue to face. It's empowering to see Isolde handle this in this series. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Thank you to Scarlett St. Clair and her team for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was SO bad. I hate/spite read it until the end. There were really smutty scenes between Adrian and Isolde, but the lack of personality and character building made the romance a dud.
