Si bien hubieron partes lentas, me gustaron los protagonistas y los momentos cumbres.

Arranged marriage? Enemies to lovers? No abuse? Yeah I loved this book.

I had a hard time putting this one down! It took me about 30 pages to really get into it, but once I was, I was hooked.
Favorite element: the enemies-to-lovers trope COMBINED with the forced-into-marriage trope? Yes, please. I enjoyed every aspect of Lou & Reid's relationship and thought it all moved along at just the right pace. Both characters felt very well-developed, and I genuinely liked both of them. And their chemistry = A+.
The only slight hiccups for me were that I did have a hard time deciphering whose POV I was in at any given time, so some more distinction between the voices would've been helpful, and I was very confused by Beau's presence in the final stretch of the book. Why was a prince suddenly involved and totally fine with witches? Why was Coco with him? Wasn't she interested in Ansel? I had questions.
That being said, I think the book ended at a great place. There was enough resolution that it didn't feel like a cliffhanger, but the stakes are super high. I'm very much looking forward to the next one!

I thought I could deal with the religious women are evil bs, but I could in fact not. Overall didn't hate the book, just wasn't for me.

Love story was entertaining! Not entertaining enough though. Too tropey!

Not the worst book i have ever read, but not the best also. I just kind of wanted to finish it, but did not manage to read the others book in this series.

I like the world kept me hook from the beginning. Act 2 was strongest for this book, I think. Didn’t really like Reid’s character but I enjoyed Louise and their banter was cute. I wish Act 3 could’ve been more tense considering the build up was really good.
Will read sequel since I really like the world and Louise. The side characters were ok but I think Coco will grow on me so... 3 stars would’ve been 4 but was hoping for a better pay off.
