Hell's Secret Omega by Sera Bishop

5.0

I would like to thank GRR for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Ahhhh I love this series so much! it's just brimming with knotty goodness, sweet sincere abiding love, and one of the more creative, dystopian takes on the angel-demon-human divide i have ever read before!

I thought this was a great second book in the series, introducing environmental healing via tree planting that made my heart soar ngl! There was just so much to love about this installment! There's the gorgeous expansion on the worldbuilding, the continued grievances and agitations within the rebel factions, Cyrus' scrappy resourcefulness and Mezor's poignant history, all coming together to make this a multifaceted and entertaining read that i could not get enough of!

I think Sera Bishop is a phenomenal writer who never ceases to amaze me, and i am 100% a fan of the Court of the Hollow King because of how well-defined and layered each book is! The characterization is always so rich and super-seated, because at the end of each book i can legit sit and think in detail about the players who had girth and presence to move the plot with substance.

In this series, the various landscapes of turmoil provoked many iterations of transformation and triumph, and i was completely invested in all the characters, even the grimy ones! their journey through their trials and tribulations were even more impactful because every choice mattered. I loved the energetic complexity of the challenges Cyrus and Mezor faced in both love and life. Toothy and raw, with bouts of tenderness alongside smokin' hot loving, gave me everything i came for and more!

From beginning to end i was enthralled by Hell's Secret Omega, and i am so happy that i loved this book just as much as the first! Court of the Hollow King is a gorgeous sexy series, and i cannot wait for whatever else Sera Bishop releases in the future because THIS was marvelous! Loved it!
