3.5

The first half of this book was hard to read because I love Sera & Nyktos SO much, but the last half (especially the last few chapters) more than made up for it. 

I saw from many other reviews that this needed a trigger warning… there’s an entire author’s note in the beginning the outlines the dark themes in this book. It doesn’t need a trigger warning, people just need to read.

My god this book was nothing but pain. We didn’t get any plot until 70% in, and then almost none after. I guessed every “twist” way before it happened because this woman’s idea of foreshadowing is to beat you over the head with “hints”. Our main characters spent almost the entire book apart, and then when they got together all they did was fuck and talk about things we already know. This book made me want to tear my hair out from sheer boredom and frustration.
