Almost DNF but I got through it. I’m finally FREE!
I love most everything else Elise Kova has written, but this book completely fell flat for me. I I don’t understand how people are rating this book so high.
The pacing was awful. I didn’t connect with any of the characters. In fact, at any point, the author could’ve killed off anybody and I wouldn’t have cared. The romance, if you want to call it that, was nearly nonexistent and super surface level. I was almost rooting for the MMC to just dump the FMC.
I thought I was going to be reading a book that was dark romance, enemies to lovers, slow burn in a magical school setting. This did not deliver on anything other than a magical school setting… which honestly you don’t really get pulled into like you do with other Academy books.
The cliffhanger at the end didn’t even bother me. I was too relieved to be finished with the book. I am not tempted to read book 2.
