I read this FIVE (at the time) book series on a week long vacation with my family. 😬 Thank God we were lying by the pool – a lot. I could not put these books down. They consumed me in a way a series hadn’t in a while. I did read this earlier in my Romantasy journey so the twists were twisting and I’m so glad I wasn’t able to predict them in the way I sometimes can now.
The betrayal I felt was SO real….I was right there with Poppy wanting to get all stabby too! But Casteel. CASTEEL. (Side note: Jamie and I write these completely separate- we coincidentally wrote the EXACT same thing here 🤣). He does not get the hype he deserves anymore! He’s been pushed down my list too because we’ve had to wait TWO years between books 5 and 6, but he’s still at the tippy top of my Book Boyfriend list – now and forever.
JLA gets a little complex in her world/God building and explaining and linking it all can get a little dragggggy with the dialogue (not different from my reviews 🫣) but Poppy and Casteel + the lovable supporting characters have great banter most of the time so, again, consumed. Oh – and the spice is spicinggggg. TBD for an updated review once books 6 & 7 come out. Cannot wait! This is one of my all time favorite Romantasy series.
