I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the first one. It ended up feeling like a slog to get through. It had an interesting idea, but the execution just wasn’t that great.

It took me a while to get into this one. It was a lot of build-up, but it definitely paid off in the end. The last 30% was action-packed and fun.
The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.

I just couldn’t get into it. It started off very strong and I was enjoying it. But then the relationship started developing at a really odd pace and the stories I was so invested in just stopped getting told. Plus, there was alot of flowery writing that did not need to be there. It inhibited my ability to get to know the characters. I was really hoping I was going to like this one.

This was an enjoyable and fast read. I didn’t like the amount of smut that was in this book though. It went from giving us a little plot, to the MC and her Demon getting it on multiple times. I did like where tut story went (when there was one) and it was interesting to see a different side of Emilia.
This is not a series I would recommend to everyone.
