So pretentious, and for what?
The dialogue was confusing at times, it took soo long to get into (over halfway thru), and so much missing, while too much was said?
Overall, I wanted to know how this would turn out, so I continued to the end. Ezra and Atlas' story lines could have been fleshed out better, we spent so much time with The Six to end it that way?
The premise and magic aspects were so intriguing, but it just didn't hit quite how I was hoping. Dark Academia/ urban magic vibes were right up my alley, though!
Not continuing with the 3rd in the series.

I'd say things got a bit interesting around 68% but then it fell flat again with some enjoyable moments here and there.
I started this book in January and DNFed it almost immediately. I couldn't get into it. Besides, I didn't remember much of the previous book, except that I liked it and planned on reading the rest of the series. I decided to leave it like that all year until I read somewhere that the last instalment is going to be released soon and I was like 'well damn, I'll give it another try'. Long story short I ended up listening to the audiobook.
Loved my baby Nico. It took me two (2) seconds to decide that I was going to D!E for him and that didn't change in TAP. Enjoyed his scenes with Parisa, something I didn't know I needed;
Talking about ships:
I find this funny because lately I've been saying (a lot) that I don't care about romances. GUESS WHAT? That's a BIG FAT LIE. So, I love to bits NicoLibby. They have my whole heart. I don't know how to explain it, it just is. Their bickering had my curiosity, but they got my full attention once in TA6 I read:
"If not for her, Nico might not have noticed most of the things he did, and probably vice versa. A uniquely upsetting curse, really, how little he knew how to exist when she wasn’t there; his only mode of pleasure was in knowing she probably felt the same whenever she could bring herself to stomach the admission"
From that, I knew it was going to be them for me.
I know most people see them as platonic soulmates... but well, that won't change the fact I want them to be endgame. They have something going on, I just wished Olivie could have explored that more in this book. They need to talk. I feel lots is left unsaid. Constantly. At the end of the day though, it's okay if you disagree, to each their own. The thing is, which makes my heart feel conflicted, I'm completely convinced NicoGideon is more likely to actually be endgame. Don't get me wrong, I love them too and I guess I would be fine with that, but I NEED at least a NicoLibby explicit (not necessarily in a sexual way, more like something so obvious it can't be denied) moment. Stop with the ambiguousness. I'M BEGGING!!! But I feel like we all know how it is gonna go.
Lastly,
that last chapter took my breath away.
She comes back and immediately (well after killing(?) Ezra) looks for him??? Poetic imo.
I keep editing this review lmaooo messy review for a messy book (affectionate)
