The plot didn't advance much, and when it was progressing, it was hard to follow. The flashbacks were confusing and the alternate POV wasn't used enough to be effective, I often forgot that I was reading from another perspective.
The chemistry between Adrian and Isolde is gone, all they do is argue and sleep together.
That being said, I do look forward to the next book, I am hopeful for Isolde and Adrian and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can reignite their spark and at least have somewhat of a happy ending.

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.

the smut was so repetitive and at times, distasteful. immediate smut after a seemingly important character death made me want to slam my head against a wall.
another issue i have with this book is the odd transitions from past memories to present. i get that we are supposed to be sorta experiencing the past memories as isolde is but there was no indication that the time had changed often times and i had to reread multiple paragraphs to understand what was going on.
also i felt that as soon as the plot started moving we got another smut scene for literally no reason.
also cannot understand nearly any of adrian’s motivations…
ngl perhaps ana and sorin are right that adrian dying would be the best thing that could happen for the world at large.
