3.75-ish, maybe?

Weird freakin vibes, but I kinda dig it lol

Definitely not like anything else I've read before

🤠🌲

Kind of bummed that I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I would

To be fair I jumped right into it, still on a "high" from how much I enjoyed Thrum bc as soon as I heard Meg was releasing another book I wanted to read it ASAP

A main thing that bothered me was that it was kinda lowkey military/authoritarian romance which is super not my thing - kinda gives me the ick ngl (to be fair I didn't *really* read the synopsis thoroughly, so if the MMC being military was mentioned in there, I missed it) I basically just saw "horny plants" and said ok bet 👍😂

So yeah, quick read, relatively fun/enjoyable, everyone and everything is *very* horny and uh definitely disturbing asf lmao but overall? Ehhh 🫠

I found myself a bit bored near the 80% point because I figured out the mystery and such pretty fast and I didn't really find myself actually caring about any of the characters? Dunno. /shrugs

Still a very cool concept IMO, might not have really been "for me," but I'm sure lots of other people will love it :)

As much as I love E.M. Carroll's art style, I've realized after reading my 3rd book by them that maybe their writing style just isn't really for me lol
