4.0

I love the secondary characters so much! Hecate and Hermes are my favourites through the whole series! 

This book started off great! But I had a bit of a rough journey with this book and I give you fair warning it may have coloured my review a little.

First 1/3: Excellent! (Part 1)

Second 1/3: ok, more of the same as before… disaster/chaos + smut + smut + smut

End: I think I was afraid to finish because then it was over, but also it felt like it got slower paced at the end. But I LOVED how the villain was taken down (no spoilers, I think we all expect it to happen) before the HEA.

My copy of the book has a misprint of the last chapter (?Epilogue?) so I got thrown at the end and again, it’s probably added to the literal chaos that was me reading this book. I can’t say I’ve ever had this much trouble trying to read a book 🥺

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicide and Sexual assault

Moderate: Sexual assault and Suicide

There’s a trigger warning in the book saying what chapters contains it. And I was still not prepared. It’s fade to black but I was still shocked. And I don’t have SA or suicide history. If you are worried either skip those chapters or make sure you have someone to talk to about how you’re feeling because I wasn’t prepared for the content.
