I was honestly a bit disappointed with this book. It felt rushed, especially when compared to the other books in the series. Not only did the plot seem a bit lacking, but also there wasn't really any lead up to the relationships. One second you have them secretly pining and the next they're giving full confessions. It kind of felt thrown together and hurried, but I wanted more.
I also wanted to see Orpheus change after five books talking about how much he screwed up, but we didn't get to really see any of that development. I loved his character, but we only got to see the end result of his changed heart and personality and it felt kind of cheap.
I did like how the overarching plot moves forward in this book, finally giving us answers. Some were a bit repetitive, though, and felt a bit like filler. This doesn't just apply to things from previous books that were repeated for the plot, but new things happening in this book. Several things related to the plot as well as specific ohrases were repeated multiple times, especially when switching POVs, and it got redundant.
Despite it not quite living up to expectations and the previous books, I enjoyed the book and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes next.
