2.75

The writing style really messed up the story for me. The author tried too hard to make the writing beautiful with metaphors but over did it..big time! And 75% of them were a 'smh' moment because they didn't make sense. This is also a prime example of being told how people felt instead of shown which is also another thing I dislike. Like the parts that are meant to pull on the heartstring  are weak and do nothing. The love story is also weak and rushed..she went from being scared of the guy to confessing love in less than 100 pages for us and a couple days for the characters. Hoping book 1.5 and 2 are better because I will DNF if they're not. There's a Fairyloot reprint and new edition that I was excited about but...not so much.

There are heavy topics but the author pushes through some of these without a care.
