2.3/5

so, second book.

this one suffers from middle book syndrome unfortunately. there’s almost nothing that really happens and everything that does happen is SLOW until the last like 15% of the book. i can forgive an overly quick story a lot more than i can forgive an overly slow story.

teagan’s pov was hella grating at a lot of points, the conflict was pedantic and unnecessary and i found myself begging for some better communication. thank god for the last little bit of action and zorvut’s pov, it saved this book from a 2 or lower rating.

still here for the vibes tho and still gonna be here for the third book! cause i’m already in this deep might as well finish it up!

I feel like I should complain about the book. It has a weird pacing where absolutely nothing happens for 100 pages and then we have a plot and a cliffhanger, and both characters behave very young, especially the MC who is bored and irritable and doesn't think ahead. But somehow I didn't care about any of that? It was cosy, in some ways it felt more realistic that other books with more competent protagonists, and I just chilled out.

Taegan continues to be a dumbass and do idiotic things in this book. He never questions things that should obviously be questioned, and he holds things back from Korvut that he shouldn’t. In this book I also found myself being annoyed with Korvut, which didn’t happen in book 1. In book 1 Korvut was an angel baby, and in this one he was a bit selfish (not that Taegan wasn’t even more selfish, but still…)
Nevertheless, I love these two idiots together. I wish this book had a bit more spice. Korvut+Taegan make for good sexy times.

I loved it, though the middle was a bit slow due to lack of communication between the two main characters, but the twist at the end had me wanting to read the next book right away! Good thing I bought it already! (I stopped reading this one half way through to read The Song of Achilles this book didn't take me nearly a month to read)
