medium-paced

I should've dnf-ed this book when Whit upended Inez's suitcase on the floor after asking to marry her. In the prologue.

But no, I continued reading because I wanted answers. The romance plotline ended well enough, but the rest? There's only so much betrayal you can write into a duology until it gets utterly boring.

adventurous medium-paced

I enjoyed the first book in this duology more than this follow-up, but it was a fun series overall! I loved the historical elements and the exploration. The dynamic between Whit and Inez was one of my favorite parts of the first book. Their banter!

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

This book pretty much abandoned the adventure storyline and dove headfirst into heavily clichéd romance. My boredom outweighed my curiosity just a few chapters in. Folks who like straight romantasy probably won't mind, but this just wasnt the right book for me.

Perplexing how the FMC is surprised by the extreme measures and scenarios she finds herself in even though it’s her lack of experience and naivety that exasperate the chaos, disarray and death
