Apocalyptic deliciousness with a side dish of romance that is, surprisingly, so sweet and lovely it will rot your teeth (in the best way possible).
I loved it from the very start: "Soul Eater" is addicting, original and action-packed. Its world-building is fantastic and mysterious, but also quite simple, and it doesn't leave you feeling overwhelmed, so that's always a bonus. I haven't read an apocalyptic/dyspotian novel in quite a long time: the end of the world isn't my favourite genre, especially nowadays, but Lily Mayne manages to depict her monster-ridden and military-ruled world in a way that doesn't feel daunting. And the main reason, I think, is the romance.
Danny and Wyn were, simply, adorable. Wyn was my absolute favourite: he's tough and nearly indestructible, scary with his demon-like voice and appearance, but also so damn sexy? And so insecure and afraid and protective you'll literally want to hide him away from a world that keeps trying to kill him. And Danny was so strong and open-minded, always ready to understand and forgive: he's also very aware of what he wants and that was so refreshing to see. He embraced his attraction to Wyn without too much drama or overthinking it and I loved that, and you know, I kind of get it. I never knew I needed monster f***ing but OH WELL, I'll just have to update my TBR now.
This novel made me cry and sigh and also laugh out loud and cackle like a maniac. It's the sweetest and softest apocalypse novel I've ever read and it has one of the swooniest love stories. I cann0t wait to start Edin's story.
