This wasn't bad to me it was just sooooo basic. From the characters to the plot, it was bland and predictable. No surprises in the plot, I knew how it was going to play out from the very beginning. I hate to say it but the characters bored me, Rory the empathetic, caring serial killer and the "bad boy, shadow daddy" Umbra King that wasn't actually bad at all from the beginning. His whole freaking prison kingdom was a nice place to be that his "prisoners" actually liked more than the kingdom they're free in? Like WHAT?! It was giving kids timeout when they have a TV and game systems and iPads with a mini fridge in their room. Like oh noooos. Again, it wasn't BAD, the world was interesting and I enjoyed that. I just needed something more to make me have any interest in seeing where the story goes from here.

This book was so fresh and exciting! Like I cant even. I am so ready for the next book!
Ugh. This story IS THERE! But the telling… was very lacking. I’ll read the next because I’m curious if it gets better but I felt there was significant gaps where details could of been born. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars (honestly would be less if the premise of the story was so cool),
I don’t care how many times this book claims that Caius has blonde hair, NO HE DOESN’T. He wouldn’t do that to me. Spicy and interesting.

I adored this book, and all of its tropes, right up to the end when it ripped my heart out.
