medium-paced

I liked the plot overall, but this suffers the same issue as a lot of romantacy, constant repetitive scenes. Also, the male character repeatedly disregards the FMC’s right to make choices for herself. Is it really that hard for authors to write romantacy that isn’t repetitive and with MMCs that treat the FMCs as actual adults?

Loved this book. Wren was amazing and fierce. Torj was a good bookboyfriend. Spice was good.

The focus of this book was the relationship between Wren and Torj. 

I didn't understand why they were so obessed with each other until the end, when I found out that they were soulmates.

The relationship felt forced for most of the book and so, I didn't enjoy reading about it! One positive was that the sex scenes were good. 

Also, the alchemy school was fun to read about but I wish there was more of it instead of the romance plot.
