I really want to give these books a better rating, but I cannot. I don't mind long books, but this one felt way too long and scenes to dragged out. Big revelations don't feel momentous at all because hints have (not so suddle) been dropped since book one. The spicy scenes often felt like out of left field.
I will read the fourth book because I want to know how it ends with the Queen and with

Day's "mate", because there is more going on with her (we got like 3 different backstories about her dad?)

, them and Caspian are the only things keeping me interested in continuing. For that, I will suffer through more screaming at the book because the MCs are or aren't doing things

like giving Ez' dad the flower right away when they went to save him)
