I can't believe KA made me read a greenflag MMC LMAO. I hated that so much.
This book really had the makings of an amazing story, but it's predecessor being the godly The Golden Dynasty meant that this book had BIG boots to fill in, and it failed spectacularly.
First, the plot was.. non existent? I loved, LOVED the starting of the book, and the general idea of falling in love with a sunshine FMC from another world even though you loathe the current version of her that is from your world. But it all.. fizzled out? the plot moved on too quick, and the MMC was suddenly okay with the FMC, and fell for her. The Golden Dynasty kept me on my toes rooting for Lahn and Circe, whereas I couldn't really care enough for Tor and Cora, they were a sweet couple but there was no passion whatsoever. You root for them, but they don't consume you like Lahn and Circe do. Those mere paragraphs where Lahn and Circe made cameos had more chemistry than these two had in the entire book.
Finally, there wasn't much going on honestly. It wouldn't have mattered in the grand scale of things if Tor and Cora's relationship was interesting. But since it failed on both fronts I am so upset that I am stopping my Fantasyland journey here.
Lastly again, KA what the fuck????? how could you make me read a greenflag MMC?????????
