November 2020 Not First in a Series BOTM - The Ever Cruel Kingdom, by Rin Chupeco

[Alaina]

After a treacherous journey and a life-shattering meeting with a twin neither knew they had, Haidee and Odessa expected to emerge from the Great Abyss to a world set right. But though the planet is turning once again, the creatures of the abyss will not rest until they have tasted another goddess’s sacrifice.

To break the cycle, Haidee and Odessa need answers that lie beyond the seven gates of the underworld, within the Cruel Kingdom itself. The shadows of the underworld may hunger to tear them apart, but these two sisters are determined to heal their world—together.

[Alaina]

Lol will do! I have meetings today though so audiobooks will have to wait :(

[Dr. Andy]

Ugh meetings are the worst!

[Alaina]

They really are and my next one is about taxes

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ I was a little bit bored but now they've been captured and things are ramping up! It's cute seeing the twins form a relationship (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 16 (view spoiler)[ I can't keep the 2 queens straight lol. I also kind of feel bad for the guy helping them, he thought he was going to marry Haidee and now he ran away from his dad and is helping them. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 23 (view spoiler)[ Arjun better not be actually dead or I'm going to be pissed. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ I didn't really understand why one twin has to go somewhere for 6 months and then they trade. That's a sucky deal, the twins barely see each other and they miss their family for half a year.
I'm glad Arjun lived and they righted the world. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

Ch 4 -(view spoiler)[ I really hope Arjun's ex will leave them alone and won't try to get back with him... I hate when ex shows up ahah (hide spoiler)]
Ch 16 - (view spoiler)[I agree Aly! I felt bad too for him, he clearly wanted Haidee but she's very taken. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18 - (view spoiler)[Everyone had sex the same night lol (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[I really liked that the ending isn't perfect for everyone and that they are sacrifices made. It's still better than the other option though. I'm not going to lie I wasn't as hooked/attentive while listening to the audiobook and it ended up being a 3 stars read for me. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, I'm glad Arjun didn't die. It would have sucked if he had (hide spoiler)]

About the ending, (view spoiler)[ I agree. So often everything works out for a happily ever after but in this case they just made the best of it which was nice to see (hide spoiler)]
