I absolutely loved this series and was hooked by the earlier installments, but this book fell flat for me. It felt unnecessarily long, and I found myself skimming—or outright skipping—entire chapters because certain POVs were just too tedious or frustrating to get through. While I’d still recommend the series as a whole, I honestly can’t say the same for this particular book.

Books 8 and 8.5 are the best two of the series yet. I’m afraid for the ending 😭

I have officially lost track of the people that call Lionel Acrux “daddy”, or if it was this book or the last that was all about bedazzled genitalia.

I have to finish because of Seth. But .. I don’t want to.
