Loved Poppy’s level of badassery in this book.
Loved Isbeth as a villain, she is such a good villain. We love to HATE her, the fucked up twisted vengeful psycho with a weird way of showing love.
Some of the scenes were harrowing, JLA has no problems killing children, be warned. I can imagine this playing out on a screen and it being worse than Game of Thrones when it comes to gore and blood and horrible deaths.
The book felt long, and at times super confusing even if I read and then reread slowly. There is soooo much information.
Glad I read A Shadow In The Ember before this book as we got a lot of background knowledge from Sera and Nyktos’ story which tied into Poppy’s.
Overall a great book with goosebump worthy moments but drops points because there’s just so much to wrap your head around and it’s not always explained well enough to help me do that.
Satisfactory ending? Yes another cliff hanger.

She kept saying she didn’t want to turn into her or become like a god who demolished cities and killed innocents . But acted really selfishly and like a brat at times .
I don’t see how much more this story can get dragged out for .
