3.0

This was a very visual and evocative read but ultimately for me that’s what most of my enjoyment really was. I enjoyed the imagery and the setting, the writing was beautiful but the story was a bit hard to follow and I found some of the characters kinda annoying. I didn’t really feel much emotion in the romance part, and so that part kinda fell flat. I just don’t think this series is for me.

This is a perfectly good book for YA readers that love a bit of fantasy and romance. 

I'd probably recommend it to younger or newer readers of the genre as it's an easy read with lots of adventure and twists but it was also pretty predictable at times too. 

I enjoyed the characters and the story enough to consider reading the next in the series but I won't rush to get to it.

There are a lot of readers that love this book and rightly so, it just wasn't one of my favourites.

It was good but Scarlett annoyed me, and her seeing emotions in colour, was very confusing as well as annoying too... but a very enjoyable story overall.

This felt like if a CW teen show had one fever dream of a season and then ended with a happy ended & minimal character growth.
