adventurous challenging emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

this was a really fun read, it was really giving hunger games vibes but with a lot more focus on the relations between the characters, it made me think of vampire diaries in a way with the focus on the relations between all the characters. i ended up enjoying paedyn much more than i thought and i was rooting for her all throughout the book, i love a main character that will not falter from her goal no matter what. i weirdly liked both kai and kitt, and i’m actually quite intrigued to see how their personnalities and their characters will develop after the events of the end of the book. i think the trials were my favorite parts (also jax!! he was so cute i just wanted to see more of him) on the other hand, i took a bit of time to get myself fully in the story and i’m not completely in the kai/paedyn train yet for some reason, but really excited to see how that might change with the second book!
