4.5. I really loved this book! I have to say with the three worlds alex has given us to read, I've become addicted to her writing and stories. this is so different from tdm and I love it a lot. I'll have a video review up soon.
2024 reread: so i have the hardcovers of this duology and theyre absolutely stunning so no matter what i feel about them i wont unhaul (unless theres like. really abhorrent shit in them lol). but! i havent read the second book so i wanted to finally do that! now, obviously i loved this when i first read it, but now im much more well read and not a teenager, this book is just…fine. it’s not amazing or terrible, but it’s awfully slow paced and the romance is ridiculous. far too intense for what is truly insta-love. i can poke many holes into the lore of this world, too, and maybe thatll be dealt with in the second book but idk. also etta is incredibly frustrating in a way that i can’t attribute to her just being a typical teenager, so that bugged me. maybe i’ll enjoy the second one more *shrugs*
