I really wanted to like this book. Sci-fi/ , sapphic romance with a dash of fantasy? Sounds fantastic! Unfortunately, I was just barely able to finish this book. I found myself drifting away with no real interest to continue. The worst thing is I can not even pinpoint why. It just did not grab my attention.

Compared to The Serpant and the Wings of Night, this was a nice surprise. I found myself enjoying the read.
Even though this is a much shorter book compared to the previous one, I think I got to know the characters much better. They are not just copies of any other fantasy romance couple.

I didn' known till now if I would give this book anything over 2.5 stars.
The world building is bad. I mean really terrible. Also, what limited info we get, does not make sense.
The characters are both predictable and annoying.
Again we get the trope of an old guy with a young girl.
I could go on. These are just a few of the aspects of this book that both iritated me and bored me.
The only reason I gave this book 3 stars, is that the ending did give enough insight for me be minimally interested in reading the next book.

Ok? So I did not want to comment before finishing the whole series.
Although I did enjoy myself for the most part, there are just to many iritating aspects for me to give more than an overall score of 3.25 stars.
I really think we could have rapped everything up with 9/10 books vs 12.
What iritated me the most ?
1. Wes being a fuck up for the whole 11 books
and then in the last one he is magically drug free, does not want to cheat, passes his entrance exams and get the girl ? To clean and to fast to be believable
2. The way the whole Coop vs Jack thing went down. I mean I have no words . I was forming at the mouth with fury on the last pages . No! Just no. I don't care who you wanted her to pick the way it happened was just cruel.
3. The mysteries where to predictable in the last books.
That's why 3.25 for he series but only 2 for the last book.
