Some random thoughts:
1. First and foremost, Haven is a true hypocrite. She may appear kind, but she somehow ignores the fact that Stolas is literally starving and being tortured to near death. Well, I'm sorry, she thought about it, but only for about 30 seconds. Not only does Haven ignore this fact, but she also constantly complains about his sister, whom she mostly ignores (except for a few moments when she found her useful). She disrespects her as well. Does her memory fail her, or does she simply take for granted the fact that Stolas has saved her life numerous times? I mean, does she think she's so wonderful that it was an honor for Stolas to risk his own life for hers? So, overall, she isn't as awesome as she thinks she is. She only cares about and sacrifices for the people she loves.
2. The only interesting and funny dialogues are between Haven and Ravius. All the others are dull, unfunny, and lack life. They just sound unnatural to me.
3. I know readers are supposed to feel sorry for unloved Bell, but he annoys me. This time, he got in trouble because of his pride. He literally lied to everyone for weeks because he loved being worshipped and admired. Karma is a bitch, dude.
4. There wsn't a single character that I liked except the bird.
5.Somehow, the tournament is quite similar to the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
6. There are also some similarities to A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). The part where Haven asks Stolas to distract her and when she glows during their lovemaking out of happiness is nearly identical. And of course, Stolas and Haven are mates, but only Stolas knows about it... Doesn't that ring a bell? Oh, right!
