i'm completely and utterly heartbroken at that ending

terrible terrible terrible. was good for the first 30% and then just smut every other page. ick.

super quick read; very predictable. ending had a slight twist that wants me to read book 2.

listened on audible; i think it would've been a hire review if i would've read it myself and not listened to the narrators.

my late teens self wouldve loved this. but it's so cringe now lmao

i don't even know what the plot was, seemed like things were being just tossed into the story. and all the main characters had to do what communicate and 99% of the problems would've been solved.

loved this.
but if i have to read any form of the word “choke” one more time...

this book got wicked weird during the last 100 pages and i don't know if it was good or bad

first it took FOREVER to get the plot moving. was a lot of set up.

then the ENDING

THE ENDING

i knew cardan (LOL NOT AUTOCORRECT SWITCHING IT TO CARDAMOM.) had something up his sleeve but EXILE?! after MARRYING JUDE?! i'm so sad.

was a little overhyped for me. it's worth the read for the greek mythology; but that ending. oof. i was more sad by briseis' unnecessary death than patroclus and achilles'
