SPOILER ARERT:
I absolutely loved this book. It was well written, a page turner, had an interesting plot, and characters I fell in love with. I do think it was not entirely perfect, but it was pretty close for me. There were a lot of repetitiveness with other fantasies in the sense of fighting evil, vampires and where wolves, the lover is not exactly who she thought he was. But I loved how Poppy developed as a character. And how Hawke became Casteel and his love for Poppy only grew and solidified. Identities changed. Secrets were revealed but not everything is known yet. Self exploration is talked about and the importance of autonomy and individualism. I loved the world that was created. I loved how Poppy was such a strong yet caring female lead. And how she finds herself and creates her own choices. I am excited to read the next book.
