This was written with a thesaurus open the entire time and you can't convince me otherwise.
Needless and excessive word substitutions that don't make sense in the context, rambling "prose" that really ruined the immersion and had me skipping pages and pages of the book.
I hung in there for the plot though! I loved the premise, and I'm sort of tempted to continue with the series, but idk.

lyrical writing
A fast pace read but towards the end it slowed down a lot. That´s the only thing i personally didn´t like.
But i loved the writing style.

Sweet & Spicy & EVERYTHING nice! A perfect balance between butterflies & sizzling romance. I was giddy with anticipation at the prologue & swooning by the epilogue!

Stars: 2
Song: Come Along - Cosmo Sheldrake (which is a way too good song for this book)
First of all, I would like to state that technically I dnf'd this book at 77% but I counted it because I suffered enough reading it.
Second, my dislike for the book could be because my autistic hyperfiction is Dramione fics, and when I try to read in between anything else, they fall flat. But probably not.
The biggest ick of the book is the writing for me. And usually, I just hate the story, becouse I am nitpicky about that. But not here (or maybe here writing pissed me off more than the story did).
You know how authors write the blurb of a book, like it too whimsical, too poetic, this whole book felt like that. The words were twisted so much I count get what the fuck was happening. And even then there are some gems in here, I would like to share with you so that u can feel my pain.
"While distant villagers finish doing distant villager things, I've just finished doing my latest admirer"
"It's desperate stuff. The stuff of frustration"
"It's nothing compared to what I'm aching to do, nothing compared to what he does next, and nothing compared to my response. " Wut?
"The cleft between my legs wants more. The stiff ridge between his hipbones wants more" And don't get me wrong, I have nothing wrong with "member" or "shaft" but come on..
"He's long and stiff. Yet not stiff enough. Not for me" Like cant he be hard? Stiff is when you cant do more because your muscles hurt.
Because of the writing, the character was meh and didn't really care for them. And, ohmyhod I almost forgot.
THE WHOLE BIG PLOT TWIST? It was so big I figured it out at fucking 10%. And I am the person who didn't know the answer to the fucking riddle in Acotar. It was so painfully obvious it hurt to read.
I wanted to like this book but count. Maybe in another life...probably not.
