Part of the ending seemed predictable. With all the build up the author took to understand the plot and the amount of details in the end, I really expected more struggle at times. There were twists I was expecting to make the challenges even more difficult for the main character.
I also think I’m not the kind of person who’s into romantasy/fantasy and that’s okay. I’m going to give the next book a shot since the end of this book did get a bit better. I also don’t like to leave series unfinished and friends have been repeatedly telling me the other books are better.

The story drags on in the first half of the book, but then it becomes so engaging that it is worth it. Amarantha is such a great villain!
I loved all of this. I can't wait for the next book - 4 stars!

Don't get me wrong, it is bad. It's got terrible pacing, it's horribly repetitive, the main character is thoroughly unlikeable, and the writing itself is poor (odd word choice, run-on sentences, grammatical sloppiness, trope-y refrains...). However, you'd thinking it was the end of literature from how some people talk about it.
All in all, a very mid, unimpressive book, not nearly deserving its huge fanbase, but if you're in the mood for schlocky, "dark" fantasy romance, you'll probably enjoy it.
