I was so excited for this new installment of the story, the first two books were so good and the story was rich. The characters felt so unique and I loved them, but when I read this story it was hard to understand through the constant creating of relationships between characters for seemingly no reason. I would have been happy to see a lesbian relationship if it weren’t so clearly obvious that the author had just done it for his own pleasure. Constantly throughout the book there’s sex out of nowhere and groping that has nothing to do with the story. I found it very hard to understand what was going on between every fling and extra kiss thrown into every chapter. I felt nothing for the relationships because there was no reason for them but fetishization. The story has so much potential and I would’ve been so happy about Rowan getting with her partner if I didn’t know that it was clearly just at the whim of a sex obsessed author. If It was more organized and if the characters relationships had been cleaner and easier to understand instead of instant sex I would have been fine with it. I think it was just too much that was fit into a story that didn’t have space for it all. I’m really sad and disappointed and I hope the next book is easier to read and more story/emotion/world building centered than just a situation to pose couples in. I’ll still buy the next one I just hope it’s more focused. If not I probably won’t read more. :( which is too bad I love witchcraft and this is so disrespectful to think it’s centered around sex and nakedness like this it’s very objectifying and I expected better after reading the first two books. more
