This was my first time reading anything by Rachel Griffin and I had high expectations based on the reviews on here and on Instagram. I’m obsessed with the cover and the hard case which will forever be showcased on my bookshelf, HOWEVER, I’m incredibly disappointed in regards to the storyline and plot.
First off, this has some really good tropes to it such as
🖤Enemies to Lovers
🖤Forbidden love (fav)
🖤Found family
🖤Good magic vs dark magic
Second, I felt frustrated the entire time with the back and forth of it all where Tana is always saying something similar to ‘I can’t I must leave and never turn back’ and she leaves but goes back the next day. It happens multiple times. There’s a slow burn romance that got me a little excited at points but it wasn’t making me happy. The plot was confusing cause I didn’t really understand who was important and WHY, it was anticlimactic, and we had some pretty unlikeable characters the entire time
Ivy is HORRID. I couldn’t stand her. She had some redemption towards the end of the book, which is almost 400 pages by the way🥴, but I couldn’t sit there and applaud her heroic (finally🤧) actions because of how awful of a friend she was previously.
Poor Tana didn’t get to make a single decision for herself until she fell in love with Wolfe and it changed her whole perspective.
I loved the premise of the book and what could’ve been, but I wasn’t personally vibing with it.
