World building was great and the conflict description was what made me want to keep reading. All the "romance" included could honestly have been left out and it still would have been a good book.

It took me forever to finish this book, not because it was bad, but I was having way too much much fun reading it. I have heard a lot of criticism about this book and the writing, and some of it is very much valid (like why does this author foreshadow character death the same way each time) but I do think it’s a very easy read and makes fantasy a little more accessible for people who are not familiar with the genre. It’s not revolutionary but it’s entertaining and definitely hooks you with clichés and random plot twists that almost make no sense.

I don't get the hate for this book tbh. Alright, maybe I am a sucker for books like these but then again, I liked the writing, I was cracking up many times because the banter was terrific!

I mean, that Xaden is a “shadow daddy“ was kinda unnecessary because they're seemingly everywhere right now, but that's okay-ish to ignore, in my opinion.

Other than that, I enjoyed reading the book a lot.
The first “twist“ was kind of predictable from the start

(the one where we find out Xaden didn't tell her everything)

but I didn't mind. The second twist though, that was a real twist, at least for me. I didn't see it coming at all that

her brother (Brennan?) was alive!

The other “reveals“ weren't big mysteries in my opinion either

(the mom who ignores the vernin and the dad who knew all along and was hinting things for her)

but then again, this is not a mystery novel.
The book has its flaws but I was having a great time reading it and actually binged the whole thing in one day because I just couldn't stop.
