This let down was on the scale of the ending of game of thrones. I felt the crossovers were forced and the interactions seemed so shallow. In many other SJM books I adore many of the supporting characters, but so many of these were just annoying. They made everything worse that they touched. I also feel that the modern world setting just made this feel cheesy and immature. Bryce especially seems just immature and reckless. I wanted her to grow and develop but she’s still lacking. It all just seemed too easy. No big twists and every major plothole was attributed to Danika.

The storyline was predictable but delightfully spicy. The dialogue between the MC and the performance of the dialogue was so cringeworthy though. Can we just retire “baby” as a term of endearment? Gross.

This book has such promise.. I could not finish it. I found the characters lacked depth. I could not invest in them or care because they just seemed off. Very little development. Maybe I heard this narrator and unfairly wanted a SJM plot, and I had unfair expectations… I still couldn’t finish it, unfair or not.

The MC in this book is only moderately likable. She has very few redeeming qualities. She seems naive and blows everything out of proportion. Like 90% of this plot would be irrelevant if the love interested actually communicated. The narrator was very enjoyable though. I liked the modern Greek vibes of the story.

I should have savored this book more, but I have been dying to listen since I finished Secondborn. Bartol has a way of drawing my into her characters and making me so invested in their lives. This book was no different. The cliff hanger was pretty intense. I thought my favorite male character was going to sacrifice himself in the last excerpt. If he did, I might have stopped listening to this series. I will also be irate if she doesn’t end up with him in the end. Overall, great second book to the series!

This was a book I selected for a laid back weekend. It was riveting and I enjoyed it!
