Oof. I wanted to like this. I don’t recommend.
I found this so disappointing. This had promise. I got bored again and again. I struggled to feel interest or engagement with the characters.
And was skimming from 40% and again from 70%. Too much padded inner narrative and reflection. The writing of plot, dialogue and inner POV narrative - each struggled to keep my interest. I only wondered if it started as fanfic. It would have been better as a short story or novella of 1/5 this le gtg. And The spice was veiled.
