The first half of this book was hard to read because I love Sera & Nyktos SO much, but the last half (especially the last few chapters) more than made up for it. 

I saw from many other reviews that this needed a trigger warning… there’s an entire author’s note in the beginning the outlines the dark themes in this book. It doesn’t need a trigger warning, people just need to read.

This book spent way too long in the first half hitting you over the head with Kolis and the angst only for all the pieces to unroll roughly as expected.

This book is unlike the first two books in this series. It was difficult to read because the first half centers on sexual violence and abuse, but I think JLA tactfully represented the mental and physical impacts of it. I think this book is bridging the Blood and Ash series with this series, and I’m eager to see what unfolds next.
