The good: Ruhn Danaan's storyline was extremely compelling to me, and I looked forward to his chapters. Bryce continues to be a fun heroine.
The bad: The entire storyline with Sofie was unnecessary and the book easily could have been half the length. Longer does not equal better. After waiting ~1200 pages, the scene with Bryce and Hunt finally giving in was a huge let down and weirdly uncomfy with the magic aspect of it. Danika feels like a crutch at this point to move the story forward with endless mysteries
The ugly: Tharion's story and motivations make no sense to me. He is one of the most unlikeable characters I've had to spend this much time with, and I don't care to continue his story in the next book.
