emilyvuotto 's review for:
Rain of Shadows and Endings
by Melissa K. Roehrich
This is a tough one to rate. I’m settling between a 2-3. I enjoyed it and flew through it… but did I really like it??
I highly recommend checking the content warnings before reading!
This is classified as a “dark fantasy romance,” although it’s not the “darkest” thing I (and likely you) have read. I definitely would not consider this an enemies to lovers, and more of a “bully” romance, with some themes of forced discomfort, “consequences”, and childhood trauma brought to light through a forced bond (forced proximity vibes maybe??) (notice a lot of the word “forced,” eh?).
I felt like there was a lotttt of nothing / repetition going on through this book and we weren’t realllly getting any information until the literal epilogue? As for the romance, by the end, I really just wanted the FMC to actually like the MMC? Like not blame the female, but girl please give him a chance??? Like we know you’re mad? We know you don’t want this? But like??? The book wasn’t flowing how I was hoping?
I’ll definitely be starting the next book, but I’m not confident I’ll feel drawn in and finish this series out.
