People can be haters, but I loved this book. It's exactly the guilty pleasure romance fantasy novel I crave. It's so good. Would some people be able to guess what happens? Sure. I'm not saying it's not predictable in the overall sense, but.... I think the real beauty in a story is how you get there. I don't read romance because I'm not sure how the book will end. I read it for the fight and struggles the characters work towards overcoming. I'm right there alongside the author and rooting for whomever she wants me to in that moment (whether that's Grim or Oro). I'm excited for book 2 and seeing how she expands the story. I don't have any strong ship, and I just plan on riding out whatever happens.
