It has a bit of a slow start. When I was reading it, it felt like it took longer than it actually did for characters to be introduced and for the plot to actually start. The overall pacing of the book is pretty slow. Maybe that's because I never felt like there were particularly highstakes for the characters. I was pretty sure that the main couple would get a happy ending even if no one else did. Although, towards the end I did begin to doubt that.
I wouldn't say that this book was amazing. It was good and I enjoyed reading it. But it's not one that I would recommend to everyone.

- I found it difficult to connect with any of the characters. None of them particularly won me over or gave me reason to root for them. This was disappointing because you can tell the cast was carefully crafted, but I couldn't quite pin Luiza's personality down except for what's directly told to the reader.
- This story reeks of a YA author dipping their toe into the world of adult fiction. The sex scenes were fine, but sometimes crass language was used at points where it weakened the scenes.
- Spoilers:
im personally just not the biggest fan of immortal x mortal, especially with how young Luiza was portrayed.
