3.0

The book is basically a fantasy romance. It wasted a lot of words and pages into what I consider “nothing” resolving into a lot of “nothing”. I think this book is meant to establish the plot for the next ones, but it didn’t do it in a way that pulled me in. In fact, I really just wanted to be done with it. Almost left it on a DNF pile. It had promise, but wasn’t well executed.

Love, love, love this book. Haven't been so desperate to finish a book in years, and can't wait to read the second in the trilogy.
