Solid 4 star read for me. This did take a while to get off the ground and I found it a touch too slow at times but overall, the story, character interactions and world building kept me entertained.
While this story doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel, it still was a setting I haven’t read before. Was not a fan of the smut scenes as they were not sexy/well written or the nicknames for Silla. Curls? Sunshine? It didn’t fit the world and would be what I expected from a modern day romance.
I was initially rooting for Jonas but the switch up felt very abrupt and opened the door for Rey and Silla (which I’m not necessarily opposed to). It’s a plot point I think will be very interesting in the next book given how much will have to be revealed on both of their parts.
Overall, good story, good writing but was slower paced and had some aspects that did take me out of the world a bit.
