This was cuuuuuute.
I definitely was left wanting a lot more from the world building & character development.
It felt rushed overall so it struggled to be believable at certain points.
I’ll keep reading the series because it is a fun concept & im curious where it’ll go but I’m hopeful the series matures a bit.
Fav quote :
“Scarlett was not fond of fate. She liked to believe if she were good, good things would happen. Fate left her feeling powerless, and hopeless, and with an overall feeling of lessness. To her, fate seemed like a larger, omnipotent version of her father, stealing her choices and controlling her life without any regard for her feelings. Fate meant that nothing she did mattered.”
