because even though the fMC is constantly described as a romantic and why she is that way she seems rather emotionless at times which may be because of the third person narrator who can make it hard to relate or feel with the MC...
on the topic of the third person narrator...
If this narrator has to be the choice don't give your fMC a name like Evangeline, beautiful name, but the min. 3 times per pages she is referred to as Evangeline absolutely destroys the reading flow. At least give her a nickname...honestly if the fMC would be referred to as Eve/Eva for at least half if the time it would cut down the number of pages to probably 350.
It also honestly felt like this book was only an introduction as we don't get much worldbuilding or explanations regarding anything geographical, political or societal in this fantasy world but for it simply being an introduction to the characters it lacks the deeply getting to know the characters.
What I did like:
- morally grey and imperfect(thus maybe less relatable) MCs
- a nice slowburn
Moderate: Death of parent, Toxic relationship, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Sexual harassment

This has great enemies to lovers potential. The sexual tension between Jacks and Evangeline built up slowly throughout the book and I cannot wait to see what happens next. I'm also intrigued to see if Chaos plays more of a role as I felt there was something significant between him and Evangeline as well.
Every time I picked up the book I kept wanting to read the next chapter. The plot is not predictable either - I genuinely have no idea what to expect in the next book. It did end on a cliffhanger so as soon as it's pay day, I will be purchasing the next book!
