3.0

I loved the first two books but this fell flat for me. The entire book felt like reading the middle section of a book. No plot advancement. No movement. It was honestly mostly torture and a few smut scenes. My biggest issues are with the plot. I just kept yearning for the characters to take their destiny in their hands; plot, scheme, fight, SOMETHING. 

Characters are consistent to what we've seen so far. 
Writing was fine. 
Smut scenes were good. 



So much of this book was just Mab torturing Caldris and Estrella. They never escape, they never even try to escape or come up with any kind of plan. They just hang out kidnapped in the castle waiting on ~ something ~ to happen. They don't try to figure out what Estrella is and they never do in this book. We get a few tidbit clues. I just needed SOMETHING to happen. Mab consistently wins at every corner even in the end. So we're basically back to where we started with no positive change. Well except she's missing a hand now I guess.
