DID NOT FINISH: 68%

Didn’t want it to rot my brain further. Book felt like it was written by a MAGA high schooler that only knows about sex from pornos. 

I hated this. LOL. I’m so mad I I suffered through days of getting through this book for days on end, but as soon as I thought i would DNF it caught me with a small detail and I’d be like okay well I guess let me figure this out. I should’ve just looked it up.

The FMC was so painfully naive and silly, and just read so immature. I’m still so mad that we didn’t have a single appropriate reaction to literally anything that happened. It was annoying and UNREALISTIC. The only quote worth sharing: "But more than anything, why aren't people more concerned about it?"

The MMC was annoying, I got tired of the “darlin” after the 100th time reading it. We get it she’s yours and only yours!!!! The love story wasn’t even good

I really wanted to love Fairydale—the concept is enchanting and the world has a lot of potential. But I found myself constantly putting the book down, waiting for something to happen. The pacing is incredibly slow, and despite giving it almost halfway, I still felt like I barely knew the characters or cared about what they were going through.

It’s hard to stay invested when you don’t feel a connection, and unfortunately, the emotional depth just wasn’t there for me. I needed more momentum and character engagement to keep turning the pages, but this one just didn’t click.

Maybe it picks up later, but I couldn't push through any further.

DNF

I am so confused what the plot even was in this book and Darcy acts so stupid half the time. Got halfway through then it became non-stop spice and the already nonexistent plot was thrown out the window.
