3.83 AVERAGE

v_artemis's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 79%

I really enjoyed this initially, but it just dragged on way too much. The book could probably be about 300 pages shorter. I also hate the insta-love and the
oh I told you I love you and now we’re legally married???? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 okay lack of agency
. The plot started to go crazy too. It jsut was a bit too cheesy. Maybe I’ll try to pick it up later but woof. This put me in one hell of a reading slump 
medium-paced

3.75 rounded up. This was surprisingly fun with fluid writing. I was originally very annoyed with FMC but the reveal solved that for me. As is normal with romances, the progress of the relationships was ridiculously fast. And not just the romantic ones, but also the friendly ones, like between the different witches and vampires. People progressed from centuries of hating each other to crying friends in like 3 days time. FMC's magic was also so very convenient and powerful.

I legit thought the author might kill FMC there for a sec.

There's this one scene where FMC is upset and wants to leave and MMC holds her and wont let her leave until she calms down and they can talk it out. And it is very unclear to me whether or not we are all on the same page that this is not ok, or if the female author secretly thinks it's kinda hot.

I've got more stuff to say about this book, good and bad. Maybe I'll write more later, kinda want to keep reading rn tho.

How can a book that started so well end so bad? At which point does a thirty-something PHD professor/historian become an three-year-old infantilized woman? Why so much wine? Why the narration is so abrupt that you're in the middle of a conversation and in the next line they're doing something completely different?

Very slow paced story telling, but it keeps you intrigued. I had to adapt to the way of writing and the pace but I that didn’t make me enjoy the book any less. Looking forward to the second book.
