I really wanted to like this book more than I did. It feels like it should have been right up my alley, but the writing felt far more like fanfiction than I care for in original work. I wasn't very compelled by the relationship between the main 3, it felt like there wasn't enough time to actually establish trust and care between them more than instant sexual attraction that get's resolved in a way I didn't find fulfilling. I found myself more interested in the mystery of the Rot and the murder conspiracy, but I was so underwhelmed by the reveal it almost didn't feel worth it. I also found the author relied far more on telling rather than showing, which is something I usually have a high tolerance for. All in all, I wouldn't say I necessarily disliked the book (though I wouldn't say I liked it either), but it didn't shatter my world like I was hoping it would.
