Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. BlurbĮverything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. So yeah smut or not this was a great read. I don’t really care for smut and sexual tension in books because I’m more interested in the story, growth and character dynamic so I really couldn’t care much about it in this book even though the smut was written into key activities in the book. You can see how I waited for the end of the review to mention it. SPOILER: What was with them having sex in the middle of a battlefield I read this chapter at night and I was screaming. We are as clueless as Poppy and trust me she doesn’t know a lot of what is going on.Īlso, there’s still a lot we do not know yet and a lot that has been revealed in bits we still have a lot to learn so I’m looking forward to the next book but this book was a really nice read, better than the first book and answered a lot more questions. It worked to keep me turning the pages so that’s it but I wish we knew things too. I mean the characters interacted a lot and had a lot of time to speak so the keeping of secrets that were bound to be revealed sooner or later is what tripped me a bit so someone hints at something and because we are reading from poppy’s view, she doesn’t know anything and we do not know anything too and we have to wait till the party involved decided they are ready to talk or someone spills the secret. One question I have is why so many secrets they had when they were bound to eventually come out. Wish he had been introduced earlier in the book!. By the way, I loved his sassiness and how he interacted with people around him he was easily loveable. The book was well written, easy to read, the book flow was amazing, the world building awesome, the characters were also interesting and I loved how they interacted with each other. I think the major issue for me was that I struggled to relate with Poppy but that was just it. I stayed up two nights reading it despite my busy schedule and having to wake up early the next mornings.
This is my personal opinion as I still went on to read book two and let me admit that I loved it. The characters seemed bland and didn’t do it much for me. Book one didn’t really do it for me if I must admit but it was a good introduction to the book and the world. Before I start this review I’ll admit that this book was on almost every list on Booktok and Bookstagram.
