I get the push and pull between Medra and Blake but also she’s kind of an idiot to repeatedly go and sleep with him when he’s still kinda being an ass. He even betrays what he knows her wishes would be at the end with tricking Nyxaris. Obviously Florence is gonna live. I feel bad for Visha tbh after Lace got killed and I can’t believe after all of that with Aenia they killed her off at the end so quickly. Really hope Viktor is actually dead and I bet Orcades will resurface. I’d be shocked if she didn’t considering the 3 got away on her back.

3.75🌟 again, this was a good story but i had high expectations after what ive heard about this series and it didnt live up to them unfortunately! i will be continuing because its entertaining and an easy fantasy read and i want to see the romance play out (if it turns out to be mfm then like the theories ive seen then.... say sike🤐) it reminds me of zodiac academy which is half a good thing half a bad thing
