The plot is interesting and I like that the FMC isn't some helpless bag o flesh. I really like the MMC.

You know when you find a gem of a book and you just don’t know how you haven’t read it sooner or why everyone isn’t raving about it… this was that book. Highly highly recommend!
I liked the potential story but the writing just seemed a bit too choppy and straightforward to me. Like very tell-y and not show-y.
3.5 ⭐️ - So um, I really liked this book. Mainly because I picked it as a vibe read and that is what I am rating it on.
Because substance? It lacked. Prisca was a very boring character to me whose storyline was predictable and quick and she was pretty much handed everything the entire book. Where was her struggle? 😭
Lorien was cool and dreamy and def book boyfriend material.
The world building was non existent but for a vibe read, that’s okay and I dealt with it. Luckily I am an imaginative person anyway and always picture scenes differently than they’re described anyway.
The romance was good, it did feel off to me at times though because it is marketed as enemies to lovers but I never got the enemies vibes since they were always lusting for one another in their monologues. And then they would “hate” each other but hen shove their tongues down their throats right after and then hate each other again. Idk but I may find people I hate attractive, but I definitely wouldn’t kiss them, so it felt off for me.
And the ending and everything in between was highly predictable. But that is to be expected anymore as most romantasys have similar revelations now and there is nothing wrong with that and I did not lower my rating for that fact. Just stating my opinion.
So yeah, I did still like it and I was entertained, and at the end of the day that is what it is there for, to entertain. So I will be continuing the series.
Please keep in mind these are just my OPINIONS, not fact, and I love that so many people loved this book, it is well written, it just was not revolutionary for me.
