Emily Seigler

Absolutely looooooved this book. I am so excited to read the third one.

I did not like this book! The first part in particular was borderline unbearable and I almost DNF but I prefer to finish books even if I'm not the biggest fan. I can't stand the main character or Sarah J. Maas's writing style. There are so many things frustrating to me about this series that this book turned up to 11. Some things I did not like: the overuse of the words "male," "female," and "mate," strange punctuation for questions ("What."), the main character(s) having insane plot armor, constant repetition, either trying and failing or not trying at all with the concept of show don't tell, and so many more. The latter half of the book where there was less of listening to the vapid main character and more of showing things happening was definitely better but still not great. Like other people mentioned, the lack of any real consequences in the end was bizarre considering how dark and messed up this series likes to think it is.

I totally meant to read the other "The Housemaid" by a different author but I'm really glad I made that error! I really enjoyed this book. It was a little predictable but I didn't mind and I did like how the twists were unveiled.

I liked it better than the first one for sure.
