bullet point review:
- really cool premise, just not the best execution
- I liked all the references to fairytales and lore, although the flowery language of the bridegroom could be a bit much at times
- couldn't care less about the bridegroom. As soon as we got Azure's POV every time we switched back to him I was disappointed
- very accurate & jarring depiction of a toxic friendship
- if I didn't listen to the audiobook for this one I doubt I would've finished it
- when I was in it I was in it, but as soon as I had to stop, I didn't really think of it again. I was intrigued, but it didn't pull me in enough to make me want to just sit down & devour it
- I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS!! MANY OF THEM!!
