The majority of this book frustrated the hell out of me because almost all of the characters made stupid decisions and there was little to no explanation as to why they made them. The first 70% of this book pissed me off to the point where I almost wanted to DNF it but instead I persevered. There is NO valid reasoning or explanation as to why Saffron needed to keep lying to Cylvan about having his memories. The only reason I was able to continue reading was spoiling when this issue was resolved. It was like a light in the end of the tunnel.
On top of the plot being all over the place, there were a lot of errors in the writing. I typically don’t notice this or have it impact my opinion/rating of a book if I’m enjoying the story and characters, but I was so frustrated and bored for the majority of this book it made it glaringly obvious and unfortunately did impact my overall opinion of this book.
All that being said… I do want to continue reading this series because the last 30% of this was very interesting to me. I love the setting and magic system and hopeful the series is better moving forward. I just need the characters to have SOME growth… like, please.
