adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced

It's a shame this book wasn't better. I came close to DNFing a few times and even read a couple short stories in between reading this book. It was grammatically well written but boring, lots of expo dumps and the plot felt like it was pretty weak compared to the first two books. Our MC never grows as a person and the world building is great but boy was I sick of reading just one big description of their surrounding.  

There's a lot of useless information, lots of  thoughtlessness and stupidity from our characters that make them seem whiny and incompetent. There's a constant need for them to be close to one another otherwise they turn into  mopping messes and are unable to do anything. You're in the middle of a war. There are times you have to separate to be a good leader.  Not too mention the death Gods mark. They mention the ability to transfer it multiple times, but nobody thinks to give it to the current god of death, Elander! 

There's no consistency with the magic system. Why can she master it one minute and then barley use it the next? Things are mention in the first book that are never brought up again. The characters become less interesting and the surprises really aren't that surprising. And they die and come back so frequently you'd think it was an episode of supernatural. Idk how we've fallen so low but if I hadn't already bought the other two books I wouldn't continue on 



I found it a bit boring and it took me a bit of motivation to get through it. The motivation being finishing it LOL. I already bought the whole series so I’ll keep reading it but I’m just hoping it picks up the pace and is less of the same stuff as in the previous books.

I'm enjoying the series so far, but this book was a bit of a lull. It took me a while to finish reading as it was a bit disappointing in some areas such as a lack of action & adventure, fleshing out the plot and characters more would have been nice, the relationship between Elander & Cas especially, as the end was a bit flat ito emotion in my opinion. Hoping book 4 will pick up the pace and excitement!

Already annoyed starting this book after book 2.  It’s just so boring, the plot doesn’t move forward.  Following the same pattern of continuous nothing.  I am just not interested enough to continue reading.

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

I'm telling myself I just wasn't in the right mindset, but honestly I'm so lost. I've been trying to pick this book back up for 4 months and it's not happening. And honestly, it doesn't matter if I remember when I do get back to it because I'll be just as lost then as I am right now. I really liked book 1 but book 2 and 3 feel like so much filler and complicated characters and places. I can't keep up. Might just read a synopsis and then just read the last book. Who knows.
