2.0

What a let down. The first half of the book picks up where the second book left off and spends the time pivoting between the two POVs over a week or so, then gets wrapped up quickly then the rest of the book spends most of its time making up for the lack of smut in the first half. And boy, is it repetitive.  There's also a random other POV thrown in for one chapter that makes no sense as to why we have that shift. The ending conflict, while satisfying, is also over too soon. 

The book is still fast paced, and short, so like the two before it, not a lot of character development. I still might continue the series since it'll shift to Thalia, whom is my favorite. 

I read this series as palette cleansers and while it did it's job, I feel like I at least enjoyed the first two and this one was meh. I do appreciate Adara coming more into her own power so that gets a point.
