 SCREAMING I HATE IT HERE AND I AM SO MADDDD!!!!

I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! you know who you are 😤

sigh. anyways... I actually enjoyed this book more than I thought I was going to since I'm so late to the game with this one and YA fantasy vibes. Overall, it was entertaining although I thought the pacing was a bit weird. The first half was definitely slower and then the second half was so fast that I could barely catch a breath.

Maybe I'm naive or it's my romance-reading heart BUT I DID NOT SEE THE TWIST COMING WITH YOU KNOW WHO AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY RAGING AT IT!!! I get it, but why? Please, don't make him my villain. I love him, but not like this 😭

Nonetheless, it did keep me on my toes when all. the twists were coming in the end, some I kinda saw coming since I knew it was a series but it is what it is. I can only imagine the rage of readers who read it when it was first released before the rest of the series was finished/out LOL. I am so excited to continue and see where this series goes since there is so many possibilities!
