Picked up this book because it has a really pretty special edition.

It started off alright, decent characters, decent writing. There was a little cliffhanger before we dive into the past. But then it just progressively gets worse. I hated the ending, horrible trope. I hated all the characters, they were all acting so morally wrong. It also felt like their behaviour was supposed to be seen as justified. The pacing was off, and I hated the romance. The little cliffhanger in the beginning also spoiled the ending.

1/5.
