3.7 AVERAGE


This book tries to be a mix between the hunger games and a court of thorns and roses, but really just falls flat. It’s an easy quick read but there are so many half assed story lines and half baked characters.

while it was enjoyable enough for me to finish the book, the world building and plot was very underdeveloped and i found myself confused throughout it often. i primarily read fantasy and struggled to understand what was ever happening in this book. the plot twist did not feel climactic and the romance and love interests felt one dimensional

this book ruined me. i fucking loved it

I really enjoyed this!! I thought the plot was fun & seemed like something new kept coming up every few chapters which made me want to keep picking the book up!

Isla was a great fmc! Although im really not sure what team I’m on 😂 I equally like them both & it’s very conflicting! I enjoyed the story throughout, but it really picked up towards the end! I didn’t see the twist coming at first so it really threw me off 😭 

I loved her descriptions, she made every scene feel very atmospheric so it made the reading experience better in my opinion! Can’t wait to read the next one!
