A review by reisrambles

An interesting idea ruined by SA that isn’t properly addressed and uncomfortably told in first person perspective. I wanted to love this book. I was pleased that some things were addressed like the messiness, but that still doesn’t explain her using the dress she is wearing to clean sick off the floor. Or why she finds a note left by a former resident in chapter one and doesn’t think to look for others. It was a struggle to watch her, hard to like the wizard, and most characters you meet are thoroughly unlikable. 

I have so many thoughts that I’m just not even sure how to explain. None of the reviews I’d read back when I bought this book several years ago had trigger warnings or I’d probably never had bought or read this. 

Also my brain still is trying to figure out what her laughter spilling into his mouth making stutters of kisses would look like. But it’s kind of cursed sounding.
