If Jacks doesn't kill Apollo in this book, I think I will 🙂
(I guess I'm the tree of souls then lmao)

I'm happy, thrilled, ecstatic, over the moon, excited, joyous, exuberant, tickled pink, merry and delighted that EvaJacks are together 💖 (God I love them so much 😩💖)

BUT... I'm also disappointed. Acftl felt rushed and anticlimactic which is so ironic because I feel it was supposed to be the longest in the series and the most informative because there was stuff to unpack from ouabh and tbona.

It also felt very different compared to the first 2 and the pacing was off- It was slow to start and then too quick to end.

Where was the flirtiness? The banter? Why didn't he fight harder?? He was so quick to let her be with Apollo. He's said time and time again that fates are jealous and obsessive. Where was the jealousy?? The obsessiveness?? I wanted UNHINGED behaviour 😭

I needed MORE. SO MUCH MORE.

More:
• Jacks chapters (He feels like a side character tbh. Even after everything, I still don't fully understand him)
• EvaJacks content
• Pining
• Anger (I needed Jacks to set things on FIRE. I needed HIM to kill Apollo not some tree. Thank you tree of souls but I would've preferred Jacks)
• PAGES (I could read 1000 pages of EvaJacks and not get bored or tired )

°• Where were Marisol, Luc and Tiberius?? They all have significant roles in ouabh and tbona. Why were they excluded entirely?

°• Lala and Chaos do y'all need a room? Cuz damn. I NEED a book about that right now. Lala brushing off Eva's question about Dane was suspicious as well.

°• The Valors... I'm not even gonna talk about them (except Castor)I don't like any of them. Let me just say Aurora, you'll get what's coming for you... with your dusty ass ugly purple hair and your stupid face. You MANIPULATIVE BITC- *takes deep breath*

°• The quotes were BEAUTIFULLY written and something that made me scream (like actually SCREAM OUT LOUD) was when Eva called Jacks my love OH MY GOD 😩💖

°• Stephanie was tryna be cheeky at the end with the apples question but he has Eva for that now 🌚

°• The bonus epilogue in the B&N version was so cute 🤭💖
°• The one in the Waterstones version was cute too but Eva... Apollo doesn't deserve your kindness 😔
°• Owlcrate - Why? Why does it have to be in HER pov and also who is that man???

Overall it was a good book - not as good as it could've been - but I'm partial for my EvaJacks 💖💖
3.75 ⭐
If I were to rate based on plot, 2⭐.
