Listen, I really liked reading this book. But the author did the classic "she must give up her powers" trope because of course. It's slightly "fixed" at the very end by Wrath sharing his but c'mon.

The thing about making your MC a god is that they become invincible and the suspense kind of flutters off. Sure, there's the blade of ruination, but it also ends up being pretty tame. The ending of the book kind of sputters out until all the loose ends are tied up and we get our HEA. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I expected a book about the literal devil and his queen to have more umph. I would've liked to see Sursea's death, for one. The vampires just run off with their tails between their legs.

There were some good moments in between the 50 sex scenes. I'm just glad to have it finished.
