I fucking can't oh my god

Yeah um that was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I saw nearly everything coming a mile away but it didn't matter because the journey there was stunning.

JLA is truly at her best with the sweeping grand climatic scenes, and there is plenty of that on display here. 

All the issues I had with this book (and series) come down to the editing. Some of it was grammar, some of it was world building issues. Publishing houses really need to start asking authors 'what level of technological development is this world at?', 'where did the characters get this item?', and 'is current slang applicable to this world?'

holy shit. this was significantly better than the last book! I had my fears but it definitely proved me wrong. Once again this book falls victim to a action packed beginning and end but a relatively boring middle. I think Poppy is wayyy too overpowered in terms of where we started. I will say though between the end, the joining, the Poppy & Castiel reunion, and Tawney I have a lot of positives too. Which is why the book is rated as high as it is. While this book falls victim to a lot of the pitfalls of the 2nd and 3rd book, it is entertaining as hell and FINALLY answers series long questions (despite how ridiculous some answers are).

Taka potężna Poppy a tak łatwo daje się prowokować swojej matce. 
Już myślałam, że to nareszcie koniec, a tu się okazało, że jednak będę się musiała zmusić do czytania kolejnych części
