2.0

Reading this book was one of the biggest bookish disappointments I’ve ever felt.  I kept hoping this series would get better because the twists at the ends of the first two books kept hooking me, despite how plot-driven they were.  But in the end, I’ve only wasted my time.  I want to give this book one star, but I can’t be cruel, although I really consider decreasing the first two books to three stars from the four I generously gave.  

Ultimately, the series did not stop being plot driven, Emilia kept figuring out mysteries without actually doing any sleuthing or problem-solving.  I was so uninterested in her and Wrath’s romance that even the adult content bored me.  And in the end, her sacrifice was so anti-feminist.
