Okay. I know SJM books. I know exactly what type of guy she writes, etc. but i really enjoyed the slow burn in this book! I also felt like the magic/modern technology blend was done really well. The beginning did start out slow but it wasnt boring.

Let me tell you, i almost quit reading when hunt was revealed to be buying synth to overthrow the asteri. Like, i just KNEW she would make it a tamlin/rhysand plot twist and i spent 600 pages liking this guy just for him to do something cheap like that? I was like “oh i bet that aidas is gonna be the plottwist lover in book 2”. But i was really thankful when she redeemed him. I also loved baddass bryce fighting off the demons and that Dankia was able to be with her during the Drop.

I thought the way the Pack died was horrible. Like danika ripping them to literal piles and then turning on herself? Thats something straight out of a horror novel and so fucking sad. They didnt deserve that.

Some things i can’t get over:
Hunt has a toe fetish??? What the fuck dude who thinks about sucking a girls toes before eating her out?
Sjm kinda killed her gays with danika :/ but im allowing it to slide because she has bryce admit that she loved her even if she doesnt say romantically. But youre on thin ice.
The use of the word cock. Please just say dick. But its better than velvet wrapped steel I guess.
