I hate the stupid “miscommunication/info withheld break up of fated partners” trope. Why do authors use this? Now the next book will be MMC trying to make it up to FMC. I already read them falling in love, why do I have to do it again? Why can’t they just work together without stupid animosity? Or worse—FMC will fall for another guy (but it won’t be the same!) and it’ll be a love triangle for 75% of the book.
I haven’t read the author’s previous series in this world, but I kind of liked it that way—it made it interesting not to know everything. I liked the alchemy. The relationship and sex scenes were good. The one twist at the end I saw coming, but it was fine overall. I did not like the stupid ending and it honestly ruined the whole book for me—it’s so cliche. Just a typical over used YA ending with a “romantasy” glaze. Not sure I’ll pick up the next.
