2.0

That was my least favorite book of the series. This took me longer to read than Iron Flame did. It feels like nothing happened till around the 50% mark, and then everything crazy that could happen then happened. There were 2 deaths that felt significant. Only the last one made me cry (iykyk). We found out someone was a traitor... I'm not surprised by it tbh. Overall, this book was just really hard to get into because of the first 50%, but then I read the rest in  2 sittings. So idk. I think a 2 just sums up how much I disliked this book. And of course, this book ended on a cliffhanger...rudeeeee.

This story was cute, but why make rules of not dating if you're just gonna break them not long after? Seemed a bit pointless to me. It was like it was there just to cause drama...idk I did like the story, so 4 stars.

3.0

This was 80% nothing and 20% plot. I enjoyed the awkward smut. It made me laugh. It read like a Wattpad fanfic of these characters. All the major things happen in the last 10 chapters. I think the writing was lazy and everything was too convenient. I'm not sure if I'd continue the series if there was another book. This series is over-hyped, in my opinion.

3.5

It's still a 3.5⭐️ after my re-read.

That was the longest book ever. I read this in 3 days, and the last time I tried to read this, it took me 2 weeks. I can't wait to read Onyx Storm, but omg, I need a break. That was a lot.
