I wanted to enjoy this but I kinda didn't. Yet another enemies to lovers that didn't transition well. I wanted more tension and a great release. Interesting world though and I liked the strong female main character. I don't feel compelled to read the second.

WHAT IN THE THRONE OF GLASS DID I JUST READ?!?!Seriously if you’re looking for a good TOG hangover cure this is it.

the beginning is slow, and the tone is a bit bland, but the characters are intriguing and the plot is decent. I liked the added complexity and perspective of the main character struggling with alcoholism (although I feel like it was dropped a bit in the later section of the book).

overall, I feel neutral. I’ll probably still read the second one.
