It was ok. The plot was a bit hard to follow and I felt like there were several subplots that went nowhere. I don’t know it was fine.

Did I like the characters more than the first book? Yes, but they were still a bit of a yawn. Did I enjoy the smut any more than the first one? Not really, I sometimes even laughed at it… but am I still going to read The Christmas Tree Farm? Fo sho. These books are extremely easy to eat up, and just kinda not think while you’re reading them.

Did I like the characters? No. Did I like the smut? Also no. But did I eat this up in a day and immediately download the next two? Absolutely I did.

3.5 stars for the vibes alone. If you’re here for accurate frictions of known mythology don’t look here. Well written and an overall good book, just changed a bit of well known mythology and it started to get to me.

Was this book spicy and entertaining? Yes. Was it “Good”? No, not really. The spice was fun and sexy for a bit. But eventually it got a little too NatGeo IYKYK. 🤣
