The cover is the best thing about this book. The pacing is a mess, the characters are so stagnant and underdeveloped, and the plot jumps all over the place. The romance feels shoved in to make it “a love story” despite there being no real reason the characters should’ve bonded as passionately as they did from what we are shown. Overall, the book was incredibly boring until about the last 20%, where random things started to come together, but barely even were explored in the text. This led to an ending that felt so disjointed from the rest of the book, especially since it felt like it took over half the book to reach the actual plot.
