4.0

I think Rebecca’s writing is improving with this book! I found myself annoyed with Xaden and Violet’s relationship throughout the book. They just don’t seem to be compatible, and I had a hard time rooting for them. They just have a lot of toxic traits I don’t like. I also wish there was more focus on the fantasy than the romance, but I also understand that’s why it’s a romantasy lol.
