It wasn’t terrible & I’m invested enough in the story to read the next one… but in this one… the characters became insufferable & repetitive!
They were just SO whiny & about the same f***ing issue over & OVER!
I also felt that the last book let you discover things at the same rate as the main character, but in this book she would figure stuff out & because you as the reader have zero context for what the explanation could be you just end up listening to her be like “oh gods…” with no empathy…
Also, same complaint as last book with all the sex scenes. How can two people be so horny ALL the time!? I’m also not a fan of the “you’re mine” declarations every two sentences. It’s not hot, just unhealthy.

A few things that brought it down from 5 stars for me: Violet and Xaden’s relationship dynamic gets pretty repetitive and frustrating, but I’m hoping that it was intentional and we’ll see growth from them moving forward. I also didn’t like how many times the story jumped forward to the next day or several days / weeks later because I felt like I was missing things (like, did they talk about xyz but we didn’t see it or have they not even discussed it?). I just want to know what happens every minute of every day!! Even the “boring” day-to-day stuff because that’s when we get to see Violet’s friends and learn more about the world :( but I also get that it’s already a long book. Similar to FW, the writing is simply fine — not so bad it ruins the story but also not fantastic (I swear to god everything is measured in heartbeats as if this world does not have any other unit to measure time)
