DID NOT FINISH

Writing felt very juvenile. Main character seemed so young. Couldn’t connect with it.

This was SO good. It’s a slow burn, an enemies to lovers, a “touch her and you die” type of book. Tropes that have been written on before, of course, but there’s something about this one that just ticks every box. Heart ache, yearning, mystery, betrayal. And now I have to wait for the second book to come out? 😭

A pleasant surprise! One of the first books in a while I didn’t DNF in the first few chapters. Tropey, sure, but written well enough to overlook. Romance is paced well too— I’m excited for the next installment.

I thought the beginning and end of this book was really interesting. I also liked the races, monsters and the magic system of the world. I did find some of the story was very long and didn't add much to the development of the story, I also felt a bit frustrated with the fmc and how she kept changing her mind about things every five minutes. Overall an interesting story but the way the story was told just didn't quite do it for me.
