adventurous dark funny medium-paced

Funny dialogue. Slow reveal of the world building and the characters. The violent scenes were concise and effective movers of plot.  

It reminds me of TVD Damien and Elena.

It took me a bit to get into the book, but then I devoured it. I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Despite that, I found Poppy annoying and the plot was predictable. I think I accurately predicted every major plot point at least 200 pages before it happened.
Cas and Poppy's relationship also annoyed me. Poppy is super violent towards Cas and he FREAKING KIDNAPPED HER. Not sure how I feel about that whole relationship. It feels very ick

I didn’t like the pacing at the beginning of this book, but I did like when I got to about the halfway point. I find the story to be really interesting and the twist to be super cool but, I wish I had more of the action in the earlier parts of the book but I suppose it’s a set up for the rest of the series. I like the characters and I find them to all the really interesting. I am excited to continue the series!


Edit: I should not have rated this so high. I DNF’d the series 🤪
