This book is ok, but the saga doesn’t wake up my interest.
Rhapsodic was predictable, it truly was. Also it was kind of vague with its explanations.
But at the end of the day, it has good pacing and I devoured it in less than a day.
The past story between both of the protagonists was making me mad at times. Every time the girl asked for a bargain I wished I was there to tell her “girl, please stop”.
The present story was alright, basic, but alright. I felt like I had read it before.
The autor does a great job at using back and fourth between timelines and it makes the relationship between them interesting. I liked the way the sexual tension was build up.
The problematic was weak and it was resolved with an even weaker explanations.
I know I sound like a hater, but none of what I mentioned change my experience with the book. As I said before, I devoured it and enjoyed it.
I liked that our main girl was a siren, I thought she had cool powers and was a badass at her job.
Sadly I’m not motivated enough to follow the series.
The spice is good tho, those are extra points.
Read you all later.
