!!! spoilers ahead !!!
1) in the first 3 books we get so many secondary characters, like delano, niall, emil, vonetta etc. but in TWOTQ we barely get anything about them. of course I'm happy that kieran and poppy's relationship developed more in this one but I would've loved more of the others too. especially since tawny appeared again too.
2) the way poppy's parentage and powers keep changing each book is getting kinda weird and very confusing. I get that it's a big universe with a lot of new information but I can't keep up.
3) there was such a good opportunity for the joining to become a relationship between kieran, poppy and casteel but it didn't happen. the joining felt off to me. they've all expressed deep seeted love for one another but somehow kieran and casteel didn't even kiss once but both had sex with poppy...? it just doesn't seem right to me. the author could've done so much better but she didn't.
4) building further on the missed opportunities: kieran and reaver had such chemistry and banter and literally nothing came from it.
anyway, I enjoyed it but it was lacking in many departments.

Yeah um that was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I saw nearly everything coming a mile away but it didn't matter because the journey there was stunning.
JLA is truly at her best with the sweeping grand climatic scenes, and there is plenty of that on display here.
All the issues I had with this book (and series) come down to the editing. Some of it was grammar, some of it was world building issues. Publishing houses really need to start asking authors 'what level of technological development is this world at?', 'where did the characters get this item?', and 'is current slang applicable to this world?'

I still very much enjoy Poppy's journey into finding her strength but at this point, her only flaw is that she gets angry and asks too many questions, which we know already. Casteel really got moved to the backseat in this book, but at least Keiran is here and quickly became my favorite of the trio.
So yeah it's not great, but it's not horrible and I'm still enjoying reading it and will continue to read but totally understand people giving up or it just not being their cup of tea. It's not as repetative but it's still there, there's still lots of heavy dialogue "telling-not-showing" sections, and randomly modern lingo. Just have the expectation that this is not a amazing piece of literature and have fun.
