I loved that this book started to connect to the OG series but it was way too long. I suffered through after loving the first two books.

I still devoutly love the characters, and the world built by Armentrout, and I will read the series until the end and still want more.
I did find the third installment of this series to be not as compelling and mesmerizing as the first two; I feel it had the building blocks and the potential to be there, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was just lacking.
Sera's internal monologues seemed to be repetitive throughout the story, and the foreshadowing was a little too transparent, disguised under what Sera apparently didn't know herself, but was obvious to everyone else reading it.
And this may be controversial but...(spoilers)
I didn't enjoy the way Nyktos' and Sera's love unfolded. And I'm purely talking about the 500 "I love you's" after Sera was saved. I KNOW we've all been waiting, and the build up was so delicious. But then once we had it, it just felt out of character for Ash to be so, for lack of a better word, sappy.
Anyway, I still adore the series, and can't wait for the next one!

post-read review:
this book gets that little boost into 5 star territory due to the pure addictive power of this series. i'm so heavily entranced by these two main characters, and by the overarching plot, that i literally could not put this down.
despite my exams, i somehow finished this entire - and not especially short - book in a day, and i don't regret it at all. this was a beautiful continuation of the series that reminded me why JLA got me into reading when i was young, and while we didn't get as much ash/nyktos content as in previous two books (massive sad face) or really any baby drakon content (even bigger sad face), i still loved watching sera's growth throughout this story, and watching her immense strength shine through.
plus, this series is just so damn entertaining. i literally cannot put it down. and no cliffhanger for this book (!!) plus i only have to wait until may for book 4!!
Spoilerand this is so random, but was i the only person getting weird pregnancy trope vibes?? maybe i'm just paranoid and on the eternal lookout for signs because i DREAD the pregnancy trope, but for some reason i kept getting hints haha. surely not though...
~~~
pre-read review: may i just brag about how somehow my brilliant brain decided to start this series a few days ago, and i’ve now finished book #2 the exact day before book #3 is released?? what a legendary coincidence.
in about an hour and 5 mins this book will be on my kindle…

Good but dragged on a bit. It was full of action but I feel like the book could have been 15% shorter and nothing would be missed. And it was sort of predictable what the ending would be, but still curious to see what happens in the next book of the series.

it felt very drawn out and i really had to push through the first 300ish pages - was definitely a filler book

3.5 stars. Was leaving a longer review and goodreads crashed. Just want to say that Kolis was one of the most underwhelming villains ever.

This could have been a chapter, maybe 2, but no, let’s make it a 650 page book?!
