How this book managed to worm its way into a 4-star rating, even I don't know.
Okay, so I went into this book with low expectations after hearing other people talk about it, so I wasn't surprised by the objectively bad writing and the slightly insufferable main character. Of course, it's still something to complain about. Also, the romance was pretty much an insta-love. The only thing I liked when I started this was the world. The world is cool. I will also say that Danielle L. Jensen's imagery is great.
But, as I kept reading... I realized I was enjoying it. Was the writing atrocious? Absolutely, but, God, was I having a good time reading this book.
If I was rating this purely on quality, it would be around a 2-star. But I don't do my ratings like that (I mostly rate on enjoyability, with quality as a secondary factor), so this book managed to somehow be 4 stars. If you like quality writing with a likable main character, I wouldn't recommend this to you, but if you're in for a trashy read and a decent time, then I'd recommend it.
