Not a wholly disappointing ending to a lacklustre series, but nothing see inspiring either. And I just feel like I’d hate if I’d had to consume it in any other format than audio (because narrator is actually amazing)
The FMC once again dabbled in bad decision making as her whole being, but I have to give her grace because sometimes it was the only possible path forward. But it doesn’t make it any less grating.
The MMC’s character sheets don’t exactly lineup perfectly with what’s written and with what they portray, and frankly I only vibe with Cain, and mainly because he’s mostly off the page (what does that say about the writing 😳)

The ending is not exactly satisfying, but as all contemporary/fantasy romance books it ends where you’d expect, but it took deep dives in weird writing choices.
Like adding some mind control halos and then making them semi optional and then never explaining how their influence is broken? Or how one cunt is omnipotent but dies like a squashable bug without much effort.
