3.0

honestly, I didn’t like the direction that the book took for the first third or so. then it righted itself, and then it slowed down SO MUCH and then sped up again far too much so the ending get underwhelming, anticlimactic and overall disappointing. it may have been due to my reading slump that made me take 2 months to read this book,  but this book did end up disappointing me. I lost motivation for it many times, and the end literally made me sigh because of how stupid the characters were being with their slow-burn romance. okay, I get it’s a slow-burn, but there are less than 10 pages left, maybe let them make intelligent decisions and stop dragging it out with nonsense?

anyway, loved We Hunt the Flame, but We Free the Stars was not the conclusion my heart wanted
