This was okay, I feel like it needed more fleshing out and more editing. I think the romance was too quick and also their moments were fleeting. The ending was a bit random? The world building was lacking and the magic system needed more fleshing out too. The MC was all talk, no action. I wish she was more active in her story. It felt like she was just waiting for things to happen to her but then had snarky things to say back when she didn’t even do anything to fight against what was happening. Anyways, I still think it was fun and had just enough to keep me reading. Not sure if I’ll read the next book, though.
