Dim Diem and Dollar store Rhysand stumble from kingdom to kingdom for no discernable reason except to ride the train to the next plot point, missing obvious clues, making bad decisions, and falling deeper into their weird codependent relationship along the way. Girlfriend goes from swinging a sword to panicked screaming in the streets for her man in the space of a minute. Dude refuses to tell her NO even when she's about to get everyone killed (again). Not. Healthy.
Luthor's POV with a different narrator was awful. I had to pause the book because I was laughing at the sudden faux British accent after the normal narrator has spent 2.75 books doing him in her usual accent.
I have also come to hate everyone in this series. None of them have enough redeeming qualities to make me root for them. I didn't dnf because I was already halfway through when things started to go from "this is cliche" to "DIEM YOU ARE SUCH A STUPID -@&#+!" But I won't be picking up the fourth installment.
