CONFIRMED MATES BUT SHE IS STILL IN DENIAL. The pit in my stomach when Callum and Aurora were saying bye to each other.. this feels like TOG with Selena and Chaol. Bittersweet because they are about to have epic love stories just not with each other.

They haven’t yet said it in plain words but I’m 99% positive that Blake and Aurora are mates. I’ve determined this is no longer set up to be a why choose and it definitely is a love triangle. Is this last quarter of the book going to be Callum‘s villain arc???

IS BLAKE HER MATE?? WHY WAS HE GUARDING HER?? WHY DIDNT SHE SHIFT?? I STILL CANT TELL IF THIS IS A WHY CHOOSE OR A LOVE TRIANGLE… and I’m not sure which I’m hoping for more..

Clare’s death was soooo unnecessary

I called itttt. Empress is the bad guy!!! Those in power will do anything to stay in power

That lightning scene and immediately after was cheeseballs. Little cringey too. Thumbs down

HIS MOTHER is the empress?! No way..

Awhh cute. She’s got light welding powers and her boys are crazy about her. BRING ON THE CONFLICT. Alsooooo hashtag justice for Thorne?!

I was right — it’s a baby dragon egg.

Prediction: this stone is actually a dragon egg and the cracks + heating up means it’s hatching. Whichhhh would mean Briony is a dragon mommy like in game of thrones!!!

Lmao the way Briony is with this stone reminds me of lord of the rings. It’s giving ‘my precious’ vibes

Fox has feelings. Fox has feelings. Ugh thank goodness I’m enjoying this book

POV FROM FOX. I was hoping he might be a love interest!!! Fingers crossssed

I love Hannah Haze books. Praying this will break the crappy book streak

What’s with this miscommunication trope?? She’s straight up lying to him. Ugh

I’ve decided I really don’t like these books. The writing has gotten sloppier as it goes on. The characters aren’t even having meaningful interactions. The glaring contradictions are frustrating. And the whole, here is a problem that should be difficult to solve but nope a paragraph later is the solution and moving on…

Seriously considered DNF’ing.. but after spending 20 minutes on Reddit carefully spoiling the resolution of her and Niko’s relationship, I’ll continue reading. I’m not gonna like it but maybe I can make up an alt ending in my head??

DISPAIR

it’s like the author read my mind and there are character cards on her website.

I think it’s a me thing but I’m so bored reading this. The other books in the series I loved! This one can’t seem to keep my attention. Maybe because I didn’t read them back to back? Idk. I’ll probably finish but it’s gonna take me a sec.

Thank goodness for the guide and summary.
