It’s taken me some time to digest the events and my feelings about this book. Many things didn’t go quite as I expected them to, some for the better and some for the worse. And this has me feeling largely underwhelmed.
I very much like that the book picks up right after the events of the last book. Any gap in time would’ve felt disrespectful to the readers chance to mourn the two characters who passed at the end of LOS. I also really liked that Emma and Julian’s feelings were still known, even if to a select few unfortunate people, because if it were completely a secret again this really would have dragged on.
My favorite part of this book was by far the trip to Thule. SeeingLivvy was enormously helpful to the progression of the plot, namely for Julian. I also loved the diversity in characters and relationship. I’m always here for books that go against the norm and conventional plot lines. I will support and defend these characters until I die!!
To me,Annabel’s death was extremely underwhelming. And the whole demon “clone” was also immensely disappointing. In addition, I am very confused and disappointed about what happened to Ty. Kit was there to support and protect him (and he was so underrated), and Dru as well even though she was kept out of the dark, but I feel like he was abandoned in this book. Maybe I’ll feel differently once I do a reread, but I feel terrible about this outcome for Ty, and that entire plot line. .
My biggest disappointment came in the ending. The standoff with the Cohort was very... odd to me. I do not like the outcome of that as well. The quick resignation there definitely surprised me. I was also a bit bored with the perfect “happy ending” this story was given. Everyone’s getting married, having babies, giving away positions of power. It felt almost cringey to read it all, like loose ends were being tied up just for the sake of a happy ending.
I am, however, excited to see what comes of he cliffhanger ending. I think this was the one major area with unanswered questions, what was leftover in Thule. As always, I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment to this series, because I still hold these characters close to my heart. Let’s see where this goes...
