worst book i've read in a long time complete waste of 8 days of my life
I enjoyed the fantasy and magic elements more than the romance but I found I could just tune out a lot of that and focus more on the plot in general which I really liked.
I absolutely ADORED this. It was the perfect mix of academia, history, science and fantasy. Loved everything about it and can't wait to see how the story continues!

I enjoyed it, but not as much as I’d thought/hoped that I would. I think a lot of paranormal romances written in previous decades just hit different post-MeToo. The stalking, the obsession, the dominance, the hiding things from her, I was just like come on, this is not sexy, it’s creepy. It got better towards the end once Diana starts coming into her powers though. But regardless, it didn’t feel like their relationship really developed organically, it didn’t feel like a real relationship to me.
I get what Harkness is doing trying to integrate magic and science, but being able to tell what powers Diana has by looking at her DNA markers was giving “midichlorians” for me.
Also Diana was really unrelatable to me because until like halfway through the book she’s shunning her *checks notes* magical powers in favor of *re-checks notes* working out.
Still I did enjoy it overall and would like to read the next one at some point.

Couldnt finish it. Too flowery, cliche emotions, and so much description. Also, so looking at yourself in the mirror for so long! Not enough action to keep me engaged. So scholarly.
