I have loved this series so much but I’m a bit mad at this book. It could/SHOULD have been half as long & gotten to the point (which it never actually did). I don’t feel like there was any sort of resolution just more problems compounding.

I actually like the storyline set up with the whole Fae vs. Orea incoming war but my god we really took too long with too little anything to get there.

The only highlights for me were:
• Slade’s revenge tour (I literally wanted to skip all POVs except his)
• Malina coming to terms with her being a wretched person & actually becoming a queen (or person in general) worthy of support

I am really excited to read the final when it comes out because overall I love this series - Auren & Slade, the Wrath, the badass magic - but this book & the first are my official duds of the series.
