** spoiler alert ** I really hate Diem. She is so stupid and immature. She doesn’t think about anything before she does it and is constantly making the most asinine, contradictory statements.
Henri is even worse. I almost threw up in my mouth when she asked Henri to be her king consort. I can’t stand either one of them . Even after the guardians kill all those people in book1 and Diem feels (allegedly) horrible about it, she spills even more secrets to twat goblin Henri, who OF COURSE immediately starts talking about using that info to kill people . And she’s like “okay yea sure” WHAT??? I literally can’t even .
Nothing that happened in this book was surprising. The plot is so predictable. The guardians do something shitty, Diem gravitates towards the descended ; the descends do something shitty , Diem starts working with the guardians and people die . This just goes back to Diems immaturity. Life is not black and white , nothing is all good and all bad; horrible things happen to everyone . She gets great advice from her dad and from Luther but she doesn’t take any of it . I literally can’t. Horrible . This is definitely YA .
And Diem couldn’t figure out her mom was the female leader of the guardians that’s been on a super secret mission for several months, especially after it became very clear her mom wasn’t dead and left on her own accord ?? Come on!
Also I can tell they’re setting it up for Luther and Diem to be mates, which also makes me want to vomit because I hate her so much. She is so ignorant and have a mentioned stupid and immature . Just throw the whole Diem away and give Luther a FMC he deserves. She hates him for literally no reason. Other Descended she has no problem with but Luther gets disrespected by her at every single turn . She has to be the worst FMC I’ve ever read.
I really don’t understand how this has gotten so many good reviews . I only started the second book because people were saying it’s better than the first . Umm no

Natalie Currently 67% throughly this book and you literally wrote every single thing I am feeling! She literally hates Luther for nooooooooo reason and is so horrible to him. I can’t stand it. She’s such a hypocrite and it’s so hard to read. You hit the nail on the head with her telling Henri yet another secret to hurt the descended after she felt soooo guilty about the consequences of the first time she did that. I had the same reaction like girl what the fuck are you doing right now. She lives for male validation and couldn’t lose precious Henri inflating her ego imo. She really is one of the worst FMCs I’ve ever read like I actually HATE her so much


SakuraReader I knew the moment that Henri said it was a female leader or their terrorist group that it was her mother... TOO OBVIOUS

Emilie Part way through this book and I'm confused by how determined she is to hate Luther despite him never doing anything. My man could sneeze and she'd accuse him of biological warfare and call him a monster
