I loved the characters and found that anyone new introduced that was meant to player actually had some impact into the story. With such a bit cast through it did feel like we jumped around a bit.
I really liked the major plot, though I agree with complaints that this book could have been shorter. In saying that the length didn't take away for me.
The issue I had the most with this book was the lack of chemistry between Bryce and Hunt. As is, Hunt was not a favourite character of mine but at least in the previous book I could feel the sexual tension and chemistry between them. In this book it has all but disappeared, which makes it hard to believe and enjoy some of the written scenes.
The ending was 10/10 though. Hoping book 3 comes out soon.

I finally understand why the demand for CC3 is higher than ACOTAR 5!!
I did guess the ending a bit as it’s been out for a year now, but it was satisfying to read all the same.
The guys becoming slaves at the end was horrible, and I can’t help but wonder where the hell things are going to go next. Will they be slaves for a while whilst Bryce tries to get back? Will it end with book three or will there be book four??

First 1/2 to 2/3 of the book is a 3/5. The pacing was slow. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted, with tons of dead ends that didn't really move the story forward imho. I honestly put the book down multiple times to read other things because it just wasn't keeping my interest that well. But we got lots of Bryce and Hunt and lots of friendship moments (both of which I love) so I'm not too mad at it.
Last 30-40% of the book is solidly 4.5 stars, however. After the first half drug on, the pacing was cranked up to 1000, and I felt like I couldn't put it down in the way I've felt about other SJM books. The last 300 or so pages were very intense, to the point that, as I neared the climax of the story, my husband asked "why I was so jimoy and breathing heavily."
And yes, that ending has me VERY intrigued and VERY excited to see what comes next. But I don't think that it's fair to call this 5 stars just because I like where SJM is taking her storyline.
