Dear Me,

You really enjoyed The Book of Azrael. One of the standout aspects for you was the banter and dynamic between the FMC and MMC, you loved their interactions and the way their relationship developed. It was refreshing to finally read a book that genuinely felt adult. Lately, you’ve come across so many books marketed as adult, only to find the characters are barely out of their teenage years. This book didn’t fall into that trap, which made the story even more enjoyable for you.

The story felt well-rounded with a solid plot, a good cast of supporting characters, and a magic system that was explained clearly enough for you to follow without confusion. You really appreciated that balance.

Your main criticism is around the first intimate scene between the main characters. After building such a strong enemies-to-lovers tension throughout most of the book, you found that moment to be really underwhelming, so much so that you actually wish it hadn’t happened at all. It felt like a letdown compared to the excellent build-up.

That said, this was a very minor issue in the grand scheme of the book. Overall, you had a great time reading it and you’re definitely planning to continue with book two.

Love, Me
