Axrel by Olivia Riley
3.0
I can't help but compare this book to Heart's Prisoner, an earlier book in the series. The premise is super similar. Forced proximity, the mmc being held by a corrupt authority and the fmc being one of the good ones, enemies to lovers and of course the big climax where they need to work together.
But this book lacked the substance the other book had with the themes and the relationship.
I can't really say I like the characters more- let's be real here, their personalities are extremely copy-paste- but I liked their relationship more in Heart's Prisoner. The development felt way more realistic.
This book is slow burn (which i love), but in the end I simply don't believe they love eachother. I think that had to do with that the characters where reacting to a lot of high action situations instead of talking and developing a bond.
If this book seems interesting to you, I recommend Heart's Prisoner. It's the better execution of this one.
Anyway did not much care for this book, but Riley's writing is solid. As is her world building. 3 stars.
