Maybe I have grown too old for Romantasy or YA, but this was not it. While I liked the overall storyline, the romance completely killed it for me. Both Rhya and Penn are very emotional beings with absolutely ZERO ability to put these emotions into words. It’s so frustrating. Just TALK about it, dang it. I feel like authors enjoy dragging the storyline by making everything seem sooo complicated while it’s actually not.
Besides, Penn is just…eh. He’s your typical jealousTM hothead without any self control. He’s also pretty toxic, he’s jealous that Rhya is close with her female friend and wants to lock her up “for her safety”. Phew. Big red flag if a man is jealous of your friends. He’s also supposed to be like 200 or something, yet he acts like a 12 year old most of the time. Petty little baby man.
