Loved the book - however, the spelling, grammar, and editing were atrocious. There were some places I had to re-read several times to figure out what was meant.

Meh. Very slow,  plot becoming a bit jumbled and starting to lose momentum, poor/annoying decision-making by the MCs. The series skirts a fine line of creepiness when it comes to the relationship of the FMC/MMC, and I thought we were finally approaching a shift in the power dynamic towards the FMC, but not quite.

Read trigger warnings before this book. It’s very dark. Not alot of hope. I’m unwell. I loved it though.
