The characters were dislikeable. I hated the romance between

Julian

and Scarlett and didn’t like the use of the

dead coming back to life

  trope. It seemed a little too deus ex machina for me. I also noticed plot holes occasionally and the world didn’t entirely make sense to me although j get the author was trying to blend the lines between fantasy and reality. I also felt like the writing was done as if it were being written to children which I get it’s YA but it felt condescending and unrealistic in some ways. 

It was fast-paced and adventurous which I liked and the world was interesting. 

The sexual tension took away from the book imo. 

Overall it had potential but fell short in a few different ways.

I loved this.

Julian's ok!

Excellent story, not super fast paced but written in a way that leaves you waiting for the next twist. So many plot twists I didn't see some of those coming.

I really wanna know what Tella bargained with
