I had a great time reading it, but realistically I couldn't give it anything higher than 3 stars because it was just so painfully badly written. 

That being said, the plot itself was great, the world was interesting, and the romance was fun. At the end of the day, I did really enjoy this book, and ultimately, that’s the reason I chose to read it, so it’d be a bit disingenuous to rate it TOO badly because of the poor writing.

I honestly really enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook (which is amazingly narrated) and I honestly at times found myself grinning or blushing. The world building is good, it happens over time so it never feels like there’s an “info dump” really. Unraveling the mysteries is somewhat easy, but still entertaining. And the connections between the characters is really engaging.

Comentarios generales: me encantó, creo que podría volverse de mis sagas favoritas, no sentí que fuera nada obvio el main plot, las escenas de pelea no eran confusas y el desarrollo de los personajes es increíble. Yo ya sabía varios plot twists por tiktok y aún así terminé sorprendida jajaja que Chido escribe la autora. De verdad que Casteel le anda dando sus buenos madrazos a Rhys, ya queiro novio jajajaj

Escena fav: la apuñala por mil

Personaje fav: Casteel

Frases fav: Nothing is ever simple. And when it is, it’s rarely ever worth it

El libro no se desarrolla a una velocidad constante. Es lento al inicio y tiene momentos muy drásticos. Me han gustado los Plottwist peeero no le he dado más estrellitas porque tiene un trope de engaño que no me gusta. Además, que la emoción que más me ha generado es enojo. Pero aun así es un libro genial.

Ending had me laughing, what part of
proposing when there’s like 6 dead men staked to a wall
is romantic ahahahaha. Also there was so little consent the entire last part of the book was kinda rapey - v much not my vibe ty i like my consent explicit and repeated, and not given under the influence of magical seduction teeth sucking. 
Didn’t hate this though, plot twist was clear from basically the beginning of the book, but was still fun to see it unleash. Poppy’s reactions following the reveal were bizarre though, I don’t think I would have acted the same way (although luckily I’ll never have to find out). Yeah I’d read the next one, phuckit.

This book was abysmally slow. Poppy is annoying and stupid. The love interest (I have forgotten hs name) was unlikeable. Their power dynamic was extremely toxic. It had these weird world building paragraphs that were huge info dumps in between one word dialogue. Grammatical errors everywhere and horribly repetitive dialogue. Saw the twist from a mile a way. Book picks up last 50 pages but it isn't worth it. 

The two people of color in the book are both in servant type roles. One is named TAWNY. Big yikes.

I honestly don't know why this book is so hyped. It was one of the worst books I've ever read.
