In Awe!!

Just like the first book this was filled with so much smut… but oh my god the emotional roller coaster it had me on. At one point I was laughing, then I was yelling at the book (like the characters could hear me lol) then I was crying. But it was all worth it just to get to the “letters” those had me laughing so hard!

Waste of time

Where to start. DONT LISTEN. I will save you the time. Caspenon is made to be the scapegoat

Prepare to cry

Grab the tissues and keep them handy. The ending will leave you screaming WTF! It feels almost cruel.

Ughhhhhh

I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll keep it vague. It is definitely a spicy book which was fun to read but I felt like the plot got lost somewhere along the way. Lots of surprise rules and basilisk laws, the characters didn’t feel consistent, and I found myself getting very frustrated. I sped up the book to 1.5 at the end just because I wanted to finish and get it over with. Loved Apollo.

Cried the entire last hour of the book

What a great conclusion to the story. Tem could get annoying at times with her indecision but overall really loved it.
