For me this was more of a back story book that really got you connected with the characters and their traumas with some sprinkles of happy moments and spicy scenes. While also showcasing how the character navigate through the traumas even in times of strife. I will be waiting in anticipation for book 3.

The book is a mess. Maybe book 1 was the same and I was just in a different mood. Big reveals feel rushed/abrupt with basically no payoff, shoved in awkwardly between info dumps, flashbacks, and so many sex scenes. These two are ready to bang any time, even if it doesn't make sense at all, even if they were sad or at odds 30 seconds ago. Did Scarlett had a sex scene quota she needed to hit? I was saying "girl, seriously??" out loud. There are three or four chapters from Adrian's perspective that don't need to be. The magic system and the goddesses get more confusing rather than less, especially at the end.

Maybe there are some cool concepts in here but they're poorly executed, which for me sucked all the enjoyment out of the reading experience.
