I wish I could love this book. Genuinely. It’s got such an amazing premise but overall I found it grating. There was no chemistry between the FMC and MMC at all and she just follows him into another country with exactly zero backgrounds checks. I can what the author wanted to do and what she wanted Tellium to be, but reading this book felt flat. There wasn’t any chemistry between any of the characters and it often felt like Tellium was 2 seperate people. The first being funny and sarcastic, the second being dark and gloomy and traumatised. 

I really liked the twist but everything else in the book let me down. Like her powers are ridiculously OP and aren’t even described properly. I don’t know how the author is going to drag this out for multiple books if I’m being honest. 


I don’t know how this got through so many rounds of people in a publishing firm but they’ve really let her down and I’m so upset for the author.
