And to be clear, I don't read these books because they're good - they're not. Especially as the number of books climbs, the quality is becoming more uneven.
This book was on surer footing, compared to the previous one, with the fae as antagonists (and allies). The series is at its best when focusing on the fae or vampires. This one also felt like it had good stakes for the series as a whole.
Still, the book introduced new characters (who had seemingly been there the whole time?) distressingly late into the book and had its fair share of cringy dialog and absurd circumstances (not to mention the perennially bizarre gender-politics and religious views).
Overall, it was good enough to convince me to read the next one.
