Things are getting intense now with this series. 4.5 stars for this book that had me laughing, yelling and my heart in my throat a few times.
The world building and magic system in this series is vast and complex but unfolded throughout the series in such a way that it make it easier to taken in and understand. It is such a unique take and great combination of urban fantasy and dystopian with mythology, divine magic and a really different take on supernatural beings. The FMC is a total badass as is the MMC and their grumpy v grumpy dynamic makes from some great banter. I love how much character development there is in this series as well as this book and that it includes a number of the side characters. This book was a little heartbreaking in a few places, one in particular had me screaming NOOOOOO in my head.
What to expect:
- Supernatural creatures
- Mythology and Diving Magic
- Found Family
- Lot of action, fighting and violence
- Secret Identities
- Political intrigue
- Dystopian Urban Fantasy
- Witty Banter
