Nothing but respect for a story where everyone’s screwed from the start, but they still force you to care anyway. Loved it. Devastated. Would do it again.

If you're going to read this read it with your heart. I can see why it was confusing for some people, but it's a book best felt rather than read.

This shit was made for me

I spent the first half of this book like wow its so nice to read something a bit slower paced with less stakes for once and then it heated up. I really enjoyed the writing style and I could really see the world this was set in. I honestly think the protagonists would have been better of being written a bit older but overall really enjoyed this one

Contains spoilers

Overall I enjoyed this book somewhat and specifically some of its side characters, but I found it super hard to get into and the plot was very predictable throughout. I found the visual world building much less fleshed out than some other SJM books which is usually the part of her writing that has me overlooking other more lacking aspects of her work. I don't super understand where the series is going to go from here and I'm not even remotely invested in the main romance plot line as much as I have been in the others series mostly due to the fact neither of them displayed a single personality trait outside of horny and stubborn. I was initially considering attempting to continue for the sake of keeping up with the multiverse, but have instead decided I deserve happiness and good literature so I DNF's the second book after 2 chapters and spent my braincells elsewhere.

These two stars are for Lehabah and SJM's ability to make me grieve a character from a world and plotline I dont give a third of a damn about
