well ... thought i'd like it more, i guess? maybe i'm just not the one for this kind of romance, it doesn't spark much in me at all. i was hopeful because it was recommended to me and because the title is kind of cool.
i think i'll start with what i liked, which is mostly the vibes. of the setting and all that, not the characters. good atmosphere. the characters themselves were decent for a bit, maybe for like 10% of the book.
rae is kind of the worst thing about the book, because she continuously makes such infuriatingly stupid decisions. she's extremely unlikable, but the worst part is that she's not interesting about it. leon was boring, completely bland. kept talking about how powerful and mighty he is, but then he never did live up to it for me.
the writing style kind of made me feel ill, because it was so corny. especially the dialogue. it was one of those books where i kept reading despite it being long, just so i could laugh at the bad dialogue. sort of on that note, the erotica aspect did absolutely nothing for me. rae and leon's relationship as a whole was unconvincing and i didn't feel much for them. pretty disappointed </3 also, this book should not be almost 500 pages, in my opinion at least.
