this book was fine. i don't hate it, but neither it was something phenomenal to me. man, will i ever have a ya fantasy that's a fiver ?? they tend to be just alright to me 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
so first, things i liked about this book.
the writing style was quite simple, which i kinda enjoy in books.
the magic system is also really interesting: Robaris who can steal memories from other people, Illusionaris who can obviously cast illusions, Persuaris who deal with people's emotions & Ventaris who can read a person's mind and confirm if they're telling the truth. that was quite interesting to read about.
my favorite characters in this book were Nuria & Castian, they were the most fascinating to read about lmaoo. it's just something sarcastic about them both that made me feel close to them, if that makes sense ??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
now, all my issues w this.
and man ... i have a few lol. first, the romance. PLS, it was soooo damn cheesy & just too much. the 1st part of the book was basically all sugar coated romance. if it wasn't for the audiobook, i think i would have dnfed it just for this reason alone.
another thing, Renata was so repetitive, like her inner talk is always going back to Dez, her love interest, & then repeating her own memories of ppl telling her shit over & over again like OK WE GET IT, U SAID IT LIKE 5 TIMES BEFORE !!! it was frustrating.
the whole story was meh. it wasn't the worst i've ever read, but it was underwhelming in way.
there were a few plot twists, but i just didn't care that much, not for the characters & neither for the so called twists.
it was ok, i'd recommend it more to proper ya lovers, i guess. don't think i'll continue w the series either. i'm into more serious shit than that 😂
