Pffff a lot to unload here. I wasn’t totally convinced after the first book, but I thought about giving this one an opportunity (mainly because I’m unable to DNF books/series) but alas, here we are!
I love spice, okay? But this was just too much. I love it when it makes sense in the story, when it doesn’t feel gratuitous but imo there are 2-3 scenes too many.
The book felt dragged. Over 500 pages but almost nothing happened? And then, idk, something stopped clicking between the MCs romantic relationship… they love each other but besides f*ucking like rabbits, they barely try to know each other, especially Thea about Wilder.
The plot wasn’t really plotting in this one. I think this book should have been shorter.
I don’t really want to read +1000 pages just to know why Wilder did what he did, who tf is Anya, what happens with Malik and how the MCs end up together in a HEA(?). It’s very difficult for me not to know but I will leave it be. If someone is SO KIND as to spoil the last two books, I would be eternally grateful 🤞🏻🤩
