pickThis was a solid book, a bit slower then book one in my opinion, but once I cleared the first 20%, I was in.
There's a lot more dialogue here, moving the characters along and creating new arcs allowing us back to the main plot which kept me intrigued. Some twists I saw coming, like Hestra's double crossing, and others I didn't and I loved that. There's a bit of foreshadowing here and there throughout which was fun so a solid second book.
pickOkay, I absolutely loved this book! I went in with zero expectations and it blew me away! A dark fairy tale retelling was excellent writing and interesting characters! 💕📚
pick105/100 I'm happy to say that this was as good, if not better, than the first volume. We learn more about the various gods, their relationships with each other, and how they relate to humanity. I continue to be in awe of Jamie McKelvie's artwork, it's so beautiful and sometimes so brutal. The ending of this was so sad, after everything the MC had been through. I understand why it happened but I didn't want this ending. Another 5 🌟 read
pickI got into this shortly after complaining I wasn't getting into it, and oof, what a ride. This certainly goes places. I feel like the relationship between Shane and Marguerite was more background than e.g. Piper and Galen, so that I found it less strong mattered less, ultimately.
? I was pretty certain that was what was going to happen with "Ian", but ah, still, poor Wren.
so-soWhile I enjoy this series over all, this volume was just alright to me. I didn't quite fall into the drama with Bishamon and her family, didn't understand the transformation of her clothing at any stage, and wanted more of a look at Iki's situation. I also felt like Bishamon's strength was undervalued here. #Manga

I finished this last night, and my brain is still reeling from the ending!
I thought this was a good continuation of Broadbent‘s story into a second duology, and I feel like I can see where she‘s going now with the series overall.
I am very glad the next book is out, because I need to start it immediately!
bailedI may come back to this, but it is not keeping my attention. I also find the romance very lacking.
