Like come on a sapphic story about two enemies to lovers type of schtick and they’re also anti-hero, it had potential—but it didn’t turn out so well 😅
Marynka and Zosia compete in winning the pure heart of the prince, quite literally, during a festival. The whole thing is about Marynka finally getting one over Zosia, while Zosia doesn’t really see her as actual competition she somehow starts to fall in love with her... From right there the competition and feelings kinda seem imbalanced to me. Especially since they turn on each other so easily.
Also Marynka seemed very immature about her feelings and spent most of the book in denial.
Then there’s the unfinished/implied relationship between the prince and Kajten 🫤 are they in love or not???
The ending too!!!!
So much left unsaid and unfinished.
