I had really high hopes for this and whilst the sex scenes were 🌶🌶🌶 I started to think that was all there was to the book and kept forgetting where the plot was meant to be going.
I found the MC a bit too gatekeep, gaslight, girl boss and whilst she didn't give a fuck and took what she wanted she was always at a 10, making her character seems one dimensional.
Ending felt rushed, as they hadn't fleshed out all the background characters I wasn't invested in the drama with Ravena and the legacy of the Burning, I wouldn't even be able to name the actual villain of the book.
Liked the romantic interest and inner circle.
