eventualghost's review against another edition

They can’t get through one paragraph without thinking about, saying, or implying sex. There is barely a story here. It’s just porn.

Was this book good? I don't know. The plot got forgotten about, half of the time the story didn't make sense or it contradicted itself. But I couldn't stop reading it??? I literally kept saying this is so bad and yet, I couldn't put it down.

Reads like a second draft, switches tones abruptly and skips some key logistics which make it hard to read. The author defending her writing style in the beginning was off-putting and definitely felt like there were some personal slights sprinkled in. Some good spice though and the politics at the end got interesting, although the set up and world building was inconsistent. Some phrases were overused and that got annoying. There is potential but I’m not going to read the rest of the series to find out if it gets better.

I picked this up thinking that it was just going to be a fun lengthy fantasy and didn’t do much research on it beforehand. As one can guess, I was very wrong. I was not prepared for the dark romance elements of this book and I highly recommend that one checks trigger warnings and does research before delving into this. 
Some folks love dark romance with these very strong sexual elements but I’ve learned I’m not one of these people. To each their own, this just wasn’t my cup of tea.

 “Women are like exotic cars.”  🤮Watt pad toxic like romance. Then it gets worse. Poorly written plot and dialogue. Also incorrect take on virginity and so many things. I wanted to like it because witches…but alas women are not cats. Or at least I’m not a car
