Was this even better the third time I read it? Possibly.

I kind of saw the plot twist coming since it was typical for romantasies and kinda obvious but still I was captivated as hell. WOW, Jennifer L. Armentrout has one of the most captivating writing ever. I know there are some aspects that could be criticized. Her male protagonists are similar in every book: Obsidian, Dark Elements... (except for Aiden from the Covenant series) but i still love them everytime. I know they are unrealistic and in real life I would probably despise them but they really bring humor, excitement and tension to the story which is exactly what I want. 
This book was so entertaining and easy to read. I had a great time.

Parts of the story are vague and not well written.

Sendo eu uma leitora compulsiva de fantasia, quero alertar desde já que eu gostei deste livro, mas tenho que colocar os pontos nos i's em imensas coisas que me levaram a não o amar nem delirar.

Durante a leitura, uma sensação de Déjá Vu esteve sempre presente. Existem imensos, mas imensos livros com este tipo de plot, então, não achei nada inovador.

Quanto à escrita, foi estranha. A escritora utilizou imenso o hífen (-) e as reticências, às vezes até mais do que uma vez na mesma frase, de forma totalmente desnecessária.

Os plot-twists foram bastante previsíveis e consegui adivinhar a sua grande maioria imensos capítulos antes.

Quanto a Poppy, nem vou comentar. Parece a Mare Barrow da saga "Rainha Vermelha". Fala mais em vez de agir, e isso enerva-me profundamente.

Também achei o worldbuilding vs seres fantásticos desenquadrada, mas talvez seja só a minha cabeça já a criar pontos negativos. ( Atlantia + vampiros + lobos + deuses ??? )

Por fim, achei o livro bastante longo, certamente por já estar um pouco desmotivada.

Como referi no inicio desta review, de um modo geral eu gostei do livro, mas devido ao hype que ele teve e tem, achei que seria algo inovador, diferente do que já foi escrito até agora.

O que salvou a história foi sem dúvida o romance criado e a revelação final, que me despertou bastante curiosidade na leitura do próximo livro. Será que as coisas melhoram no seguinte?

Slow start, but great story

This is a fantastic book! It is slow to get rolling and sometimes tedious because of the internal dialogue of the main character, but the story line is great and the world that Jennifer created is so amazing.
