Honestly, I don't know how to rate this story. It was certainly something. Something weird. Something fun. Something. I think if you go into it understanding that you can't take it too seriously, you'll have a good time with it. If you're expecting Schwab or Bardugo, or whoever your favorite writer is, level of writing, this ain't it. 

The beginning starts off dark, and I'm glad it didn't stay that way for long, but the only thing I really didn't like is the same thing I always hate writers doing to women in relationships which is

making them pregnant. That's one of the quickest ways to ruin a story for me, personally.

I would have liked more world building, more development of the characters overall, and more development of the romance between the two mains.

 Will I read more in the series? Eh... Maybe... Probably. 😂
