Enjoyable, but not sure I would have continued if I didn't know how many people absolutely love this series, so I'm assuming it gets better in the next books.
I like Lindon, but somehow don't feel particularly attached to him, I do like that he thinks about problems and is not a dumb/running headfirst into problems kind of person.
I also feel like the book either doesn't explains things very clearly or just uses infodumps to catch you up.
I'm curious how the rest of the series is.

Fun, interesting story and characters, definitely recommend.
Can be read as a standalone if you don't mind a somewhat open ending.(I'm saying because I didn't enjoy book 2 as much)

In short: A bit unpolished, but very fun.
I enjoyed reading this book and am currently flying through the sequels. I think the characters and relationships are very good, they are very lovable and especially the relationship between Hadrian and Royce is great. I also like the side characters, especially Myron, he's so sweet. The plot is interesting enough to keep me invested, but there's some info-dumping and in some chapters I started skimming a bit, because I didn't care as much about the current characters we were with or they were a bit long-winded (mostly not when we're with Hadrian and Royce, but in some of the other chapters).

Fun book, really liked the characters, especially Theodore. A bit "darker"/less light-hearted than I was expecting from the cover, but not in a bad way.

Not for me, the concept seemed interesting, but the book was a bit all over the place and I didn't feel invested in the characters or their relationships. A lot of things got introduced and were either solved extremely quickly e.g. the father of the main character, who immediately got killed and didn't have any other impact on the story or were simply irrelevant e.g. Eli being a werewolf. I would have preferred it if the book went more into the motivations and emotions of the main character, she is in a lot of difficult and emotionally impactful situations, but I never really felt an emotional reaction, were told she's impacted sometimes, but for me at least it did not hit.
