Thank you Maxym M. Martineau (but also not thank you because of that ending. You know what you did!), Harper Collins, and Net Galley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
It's a slow beginning, medium middle, then after 57-60% it turns into "I gots to know!" The book is loveable after slow start. You just slowly start to fall for the characters. The author does an amazing job with bread crumbing you with tid bits of each character. I was hooked. If it had been a physical book ARC I would have thrown it across the room at the end. Don't get me wrong I loved it but it ruined me and I was mad at how it ended but in a good way. It reminded me a tiny bit of ACOTAR in some aspects of the story and other stories in other ways but definitely unique. You're definitely going to enjoy it. I would have rated 5 stars fully if the beginning wasn't so dry. There was a lot of inner monologue in the beginning so I struggled.
