Now, the hard part. I absolutely hate Knox. I know the author warned ahead of time, but I don't see how he will change. I don't want to read more of him when he's just an egotistical maniac. I get where's he's coming from in grief, but to take it out on Aria, just no. And everything he did to her, just again no. She better end up with someone better.
Life is a bitch, and you can let it destroy you, or you can face it head-on and show that it doesn’t define who you choose to become in life.”
“You won’t keep me, Knox. I am Aria fucking Hecate. I am a survivor. War is in my veins, and I assure you, if you do this, I will escape you. I will fight against you. I will always fight for my family. It’s in my blood and burned into my bones to protect them."
I choose my fate and my chaos, and what I allow to happen to me is on me, no one else."
“I’m a woman, Knox. We only need a few minutes to rain hell down upon men."
Now to the best parts of the book, Aria and her sisters. I adore the fire and the strength Aria has. She learns and grows. She adapts to her surroundings and never breaks for anything. She is loyal and will burn down the world for those she loves. I have hated seeing her be abused and taken advantage of. Knox has no idea what he is losing because of his quest for revenge.
The world building is also absolutely amazing. It's complicated with so many issues and underlying complexities. I want to see the rest of the Nine Realms. I want to see all the beauty and darkness they hold.
The writing of the dialogue is probably what I hated the most. It was just bad. As much as I loved Aria, the back and forth with Knox made me roll my eyes. It just wasn't that good. I wish it had been better and less repetitive.
Still, I'm going to keep reading. I want to see Aria burn the world down against Knox and all those Witches who betrayed the bloodline and rules put in place.
