The Craving in Slumber by M.L. Philpitt

challenging emotional sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

It's not my favorite book so far. I definitely prefer Della and Nico to Rosen and Aurora's story. Honestly, I love Rosen. He's loyal, kind, and empathetic. He tried to help Aurora adjust as easily as possible. But I hated Aurora. I know she went through a lot and deserves to be upset with her family, but she was hateful to everyone. Even Della and Ariella, who were also outsiders. I feel that she didn't give them a true chance. I also don't like how she treated Rosen. He literally was there helping her every step of the way, and she just treated him like trash. Rosen deserved better. Yes, she did grow as the book went on, but honestly, I was just over her.
