⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
🌶️.5/5

This was a solid 3 stars for me up until the ending which tipped it to a 4 because WTF! Honestly there's a TON of ACOTAR resemblances in this series so it's deterring me slightly and Scarlett is lowkey a bit annoying at times, but it hasn't fully bothered me to the point where I'm not invested in the story. I'm here for the vibes, not for the writing! I'm still really intrigued where this is gonna go 👀

I wanted to rate this lower because of the way my heart was clenching for the first half, but after letting my emotions FINALLY settle I realized that other than having the intended reactions to Sorin and Scarlett I have literally no notes.

I am so disappointed I'm not going to be able to jump into book three this very minute because I am just trying to chase a happy ending damnit!

The characters are just so real that I can't help but actually feel what they are feeling. The longer I read these stops being just names on a page and turn into people with a life of their own, and the true magic I feel reading is absolutely unparalleled. I am so exited to learn more about, well, everything! It seems as if as soon as you think you have a grasp on reality, the rug gets pulled out from under you. It is as maddening as it is delightful.
