tw: gore; body horror

I would have liked this just as much as book one if it was a little shorter. This book adds in additional perspectives that we didn't get in the first two books, and that bogs it down a bit. For a story that revolves around a w/w romance at the core, I care about those characters more than other side characters. This did finally add in so much more fantasy that was teased in the first book, with more talk of gods, myths, etc. Due to its length and meandering, I did get bored, and I do wish the series had been edited more so that some of these elements were more present in book two. That would have made a more fulfilling story for me.
