The story

Absolutely love this series! Going to buy the 4th book rather than waiting for the audible cause its amazing!

Wow! Things escalate quickly!

I had a lot of fun with this one! I mean the author did a great job bringing together several plot elements together into one or few climatic moments. We still get the Slice of Life aspects that I have grown to enjoy so much. However, this one had more of a “political-thriller” theme to it with a magical fantasy topping to it. You definitely get the satisfaction of plotting and scheming if that is what you are looking for.
The next one looks like we will get our magical and progression cravings catered to and in looking forward to it! I also want to see more of those who hide in the shadows and who they are.
One of my favorite aspects is the major progression of Adelheid’s power!

The narrators continue to do an amazing job with bringing our favorite, and even the hated, characters to life!

Now for dislikes… I would say that it felt kind of short for this style of story. But at the same time, the darker aspects found in this book dragged on a bit. Also, I’m a bit bummed with the darker aspects seemed to be growing in the MC. And how Matilda seems to be lagging behind in her progress.
However, these are my opinions and not something that takes away from how awesome this book was! It was still a lot of fun. I will definitely be looking forward to the next book!

amazing

First of all babe, I'm a pretty big fan of the writer for the series. I have his other series available on honorable to which I enjoy a lot. This one started off kind of slow. Slow but such an excellent serit's a really good world building. I really love the gods. It's a very interesting story, the more we learn about them. I'm enjoying the whole thing really. I like the main character a lot. I know some people may not like her because she is so cold-hearted. A product of her past life. All that being said, this third book really took a really nice turn. I didn't see that coming kind of deal. Not a super huge plot twist, especially since we kind of already understood her experiments in what her body was kind of doing already. But the direction that they did go I did not expect. But I love it a lot. And I really cannot wait to see the next book. Now I'm on to read melody of manna which if anyone has not started that series yet. You really should if you like this series. You will see a lot of common similarities between each other. But they are so different to
