i can see why a lot of people rated it lower because it had potential to be so much better but i still loved the characters. the beginning of nox and asterias relationship sorta reminded me of klaus and caroline from vampire diaries. it was also not as smutty as i thought, but overall still a great story in my opinion

It just read like the author was trying to fit as many popular tiktok tropes as possible. It was just very frustrating to read. The characters just skipped over the getting to know eachother stage and straight to the "who did this to you" stage. Like it was literally their 3rd interaction with eachother wtf.
Also there were a ton of typos which just drove me insane.

I got to stop falling for book quotes shared on tik tok.

This read like it was written by a 13 year old on wattpad, which is unfortunate because I think it pulls a bit of weight talking about sexual assault and her talking about working through her trauma. However Nox just did the annoying alpha male possessive thing and everyone in this book incessantly talked about her like she wasn’t there (including her best friend). I think that might be part of her overall character development, but I seriously doubt it’s worth reading the next one.

This book felt like it was dancing around points. Characters were back and forth with their decisions. Ultimately there was no weight to the events, no emotional investment.

medium-paced
Pacing of their desire for each other was off. Felt very predictable. Urban. Not good at creating suspense or mystery about plot. Dialogue felt cheesy especially from MMC. Boring and not original
