Way too much smut in this book for my taste. I might not have minded as much if I was in the mood for it, but I wanted more of a fantasy plot out of this. It definitely fell into that 2nd book trope of so much time being spent “traveling.” Could’ve had a lot more planning or strategy from the crew toward the actual plot. Really interesting world, gods, etc. that I would’ve loved to seen explored more, especially since a lot of the book was taken up by smut rather than world or plot building. The best part of the book was the last chapter, which might have motivated me to read the next book in the series since I wasn’t sure if I would continue.

The plot was slow going and it felt like there was quite a bit of filler but I liked where the story is headed.

Not a lot of character development when it comes to Raina or Alexus but there are new POVs through which we get to know other characters. I look forward to reading more about Nephele and Neri.

It’s weird, because I’m definitely into this series, but I’m also easily distracted from it. I plan on continuing it, but I think I’m going to wait until the last book comes out next month.

These plot twists get me! The way Weaks builds the worlds and the characters within blows my mind! This book is even better than the first!
