I wanted to like this but i really didn't. I found Kirian and Quinn unlikeable, the plot was predictable, i didn't like the writing style and the relationship between the leads was giving me the biggest ick.
Quinn and Kirian meet when they are both 12-13 years old but because there's a time difference between the fae and human worlds, a day in the human world is a year in the fae world, not long after first meeting Kirian is already an adult. He falls in love with her when she's a minor and he calls her young one and it's just giving red flags all around. Quinn is homeschooled and friendless, so she's sheltered and lonely which makes their relationship feel even more inappropriate. Her entire being molds to be about him, her wants and her motivations are based entirely on him. She lacks any drive in her life for herself. She's a doormat of a main character. Quinn eventually turns 18 and is going off to college so she tells Kirian that they won't be seeing eachother for a while. He freaks out and kidnaps her off to the fae realm and upon arriving, he declares that they'll be getting married without any consideration about what she wants. Of course she agrees and isn't mad that he kidnapped her because she'll go along with anything he wants. Girl get some personality and self respect omg. At some point he carries her in an adult sized baby carrier and if i wasn't weirded out before that just took it to another level. Kirian is a 2000+ year old adult sized toddler. He's immature, reckless, aggresive, pushy, arrogant and i kept getting ACOMAF Tamlin vibes from him. The only character i enjoyed was Damon. All in all, tiktok lied to me once again.
