Reading the Kolis bit was A LOT - there was sooo much
SA, abuse, etc.
it got kind of hard to read at times. I also wish they would have put in a couple of chapters of nyktos and others so it wasn’t just all sera. They were also separated for a LOOONg time which was a little killer. 

The last bit of the book was much better. I adore Ash and Sera so much. I loved how the book ended with spice and a little bit of cry.  Their story is just the best

a good amount of the book was rough to read because of everything Sera goes through but I found all the emotional processing around the traumatic events very relatable and well written

This book felt a little like an extended novella. I felt like some parts dragged and there was a lot of lore dump. I do love Sera and the way her anxiety is portrayed. It’s so nice to see a badass fmc with anxiety. I love the way Ash cares for her but Nektas is really a favorite. So mature and reasonable . I wish the majority of the book wasn’t spent with Kolis. I hate him and I’m not a huge fan of books where the FMC and MMC are apart for so long.
