WHAT??????????????? I’m so angry right now. I was so into this book and the ending ?????? Are we for real right now? I’m PISSED! The story captivated me and then THIS? This makes me incredibly hesitant to read any other books by this author.
This is definitely giving King of Battle and blood vibes … IYKYK
**This book isn’t a HEA🥲** could be debatable, but it really wasn’t for me**
If I had known this, I would have never read it. It was definitely pretty Gen Z writing and it did have some really great, but really annoying characters. I felt like I was just cut off from the rest of the story? Like it had been rushed? I loved the banter, sometimes it was like a teen romcom made in 2023. It was literally so good until the end?
And I might be missing a few screws but could not for the life of me understand the importance of Helen. How and why was she involved? I just thought she would text back or SOMETHING? ANYTHING? you don’t really learn anything about her other than she was sick. We don’t really know Jane’s life either. Same with everyone else except Elias. So much potential , I don’t understand how that was 350 pages.
Elias = young Henry Cavill
The cover? ✅
The tropes? ✅
The dark academia YA style of ‘Gothikana’ ?✅
Did I spend 4 hours reading this to feel incredibly disappointed?✅
Was i also confused half of the storyline still struggling to understand the connections?✅
That’s all I have to say
