The Binding

actual rating: 3.5 stars
this book was so great and magical: it made me smile, almost cry, frustrated, and would also make me angry. the thing is, part I of the book was sooo boringly slow. it took me a crazy amount of time to get through part I, and it bored me so much that i would even avoid picking it up. otherwise, parts II and III were amazing: well-paced and very engaging! in the last two-thirds of the book i couldn't put it down. also i ship lucian and emmett sosososososo hard i love them together and this has been my favourite forbidden love story i've read so far ugh
