adventurous mysterious medium-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

I feel like i have a lot to say about this book but i dont know where to start… i have mixed feelings because i didnt hate it, it wss entertaining and i enjoyed the world but i couldnt really get attached to the characters nor the relationship really.

cylan and saffrons relationship feeling like a smooth ramp of enemies to lovers it was instead a very abrupt staircase (idk if that makes sense) it just felt like one day he was mean and the next day he wasn’t. and i feel like saffron more likes the idea of him than he actually likes him bc truly i dont know anything about him really and i cant imagine saffron does either so im left sitting here wondering what reason he has to like him.

also oh my god saffron was such a crybaby i found it hilarious that this guy was like ‘yes my prince i will protect you’ meanwhile he was beat up and injured countless times throughout the book and cried at least once a chapter. and if i had a nickel for every time saffron was beaten to a pulp and tied up and left to die in the woods i’d have two nickels but it’s weird that it happened twice.

that being said despite all the question marks and gripe this left me with it’s pretty likely that i’ll read the next book,, what can i say im easily entertained🤷

DNFing before starting chapter 12. The book is cruel and poorly written enough that I have no interest in continuing the series. Doesn't make sense to power through the misery

Originally rated this book a 4, but looking back on it months later, because I'm rethinking it over and realized just how messed up this book is. I don't know how to properly spoil, but if you don't want to read attempted drugging and abuse, then don't read this book. I thought it was going to be a lighter book to read, but the straight up abuse is a turn off. This book did drag on at some parts, it was written good, but the fact that there was also no true forgiveness or resolution after the two main characters issues is kind of saddening. I own the second book but I don't think I'm going to read it. The conflicts between our two MCs gets annoying, too, as its one after another.

But thats all just my thoughts on the book.
