*I received an eArc of this book from the Publishers through Netgalley in exchange of an honest
review*
I fought for my life not to DNF this and considering that I didn't, I need some kind of award... or something.
Cause this was bad. My emotions went from uncomfortable, to rage, to disappointment, to finally a lack of caring. The plot was everywhere, execution was lacking and I could care less about the characters... especially the main character.
Because she just... refuses to develop. Over the entire series, she constantly makes mistakes which is fine... if she grew and thought things through. I'm not asking her to be perfect, but it's the simple things that would have prevented the majority of her mistakes.
And who decided to put her in an abusive relationship? It would have been okay if she realized she was in this toxic relationship and didn't continuously talk about fate and how their souls were destined and pity him for being lonely. Yet because of that, even with her finding new love, she never held him accountable for his actions.
If I'm honest? Since a major theme of this entire series is how you can love two people in different ways, I kind of was hoping for a polyamorous relationship... which didn't happen so.....
The only compliments I could give in here was the emphasis on female friendships, Lilly and Dee’s side inconsequential plot, a few LGBTQIAP+ side relationships and Rook’s resolution. Granted, looking back, it does seem a bit out of place, but I’m pulling for straws here. I'm just... disappointed.
09/27-- I hated this
02/09-- Wait... so we're still pushing this love... *enter complicated geometry shape here*?
