This books reminds me of those YouTube short videos where someone is blending a random mix of ingredients that should not be together to form a chaotic drink. Like, the writing is okay but there was so much going on at once.

2.5 ⭐️
Its been a few months since I listened to the first book, so perhaps I forgot the feel of the first one. However, this one didn't live up to how I remember the first one being. The main characters fought a lot which took away from the story. It felt like it was all just fighting and sex; don't get me wrong, I like a smutty book, but so much of it took away from the plot. The ending of this book also just felt so abrupt. You learn some information and then it ends in a weird way.
I don't know, I just wasn't as into this book as I was the first one.

The plot was so much better in this book but I had a lot of trouble remembering what happened in the first book. Recommend rereading before starting this one.

This one was so hard with all the emotional turmoil.

I’ve read this series multiple times. I can’t wait for more books to be released. It’s so under hyped and lives rent free in my head 

It was great to be back in this world! Scarlett St. Clair is an amazing writer! From start to finish I was hooked! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and never put it down! So eleven hours later I was done with it and I can't wait for the next book!

I’m a bit confused but I did enjoy it. It was fast paced and I had a feeling about the ending. I’m excited for the next book. And I know that Adrian’s whole MO is conquering and death but I wished he and Isolde didn’t rule with such an iron fist. I feel like Isolde was very easily manipulated to but also a powerful woman. I had such conflicting feelings. But I’m taking away that being extremely radical on either side is never a good thing and a balance is always necessary.
