We’ll see where things go in the next book (yes, I’m still going to read the next one and see where everything goes from here). And even the reveal towards the end, about the way the goddess Dis is interfering with their relationship and Adrian’s actions, was too little too late, IMO, to save my opinion of the couple’s increasing unhealthy interactions. But, now that Adrian and Isolde are clearly on the same side, if you will, I was frustrated that neither seemed willing to compromise or talk through any disagreements for real, they’d just yell at each other, unmoving, then sulk and feel guilty, then come back together later and have make-up sex without ever addressing the baseline issues, etc. I understand the need for that in the first, as enemies to lovers necessitates that vibe. I will say though, I got a little uncomfortable with the way the “fight and have sex” cycle didn’t seem to get any better in this second book. The steamy scenes, and there were, again, many, were still written really well (kudos to St. Clair tries to address and move forward what feels like, perhaps, too many plot points. The story and writing are fine, though a bit scattered, as St. Well, I was not quite as into this second book as I was the first one. “You are the daughter of witches, as all women are Magic is in our blood and bone it is in the earth at our feet it is in the very air we breathe.”
