Looking for an AMAZING story that is extremely detailed to the point you can fully immerse yourself in the story? This is the one.
Now, Iβm gonna be super honest though. It was so detailed that my ADHD brain kept having to reread whole sections of the story because I would zone out periodically. So I am rating this 5 stars solely on vibes and the fact that I have not read a story this detailed and superb since LOTR. It is an amazing story, just hard to stay focused on something so detailed, itβs a me problem. π
But I heard the first book is also the slowest as it has a lot of explanations and character intros and different regions being described. So I understand that and I am so excited to get to volume two.
I also hybrid read/listened to this by the amazing narrator Crimson Rain on Spotify. π
With all that said, I am obsessed with the characters and the story and I NEED more Xie Lian and Hua Cheng more than I need to breathe. π

Ahhhhhhh omg I love Kurosawa and Adachi so much, words cannot even begin to describe my love for them. This volume was EVERYTHING, everything I tell you. π
Can we PLEASE start normalizing writing books from the main male pov? Because this was PERFECTION.
Ngl, I almost DNFed this series after book two, I finished book two but it was mid imo and Callie was annoying tf out of me. This book redeemed the entire series in my eyes and it was necessary to understand Callie more and the Bargainer and his beginning.
I loved everything about this book. And will def be finishing up the series with the last book now.

The vibes were IMMACULATE! I need a Jacks/Eva novella now immediately, please, on my knees BEGGING.
The vibes were immaculate. I loved the mystery/thriller aspect, it was perfectly paired with the romance between the two main characters.

5 freakin stars. - I was skeptical because I was not a fan of the previous book in this serious, but this one blew that one out of the water.
If you like Heartless, read this book IMMEDIATELY, it had all the same vibes. A single dad, a strong willed woman, and of course SCORCHING chemistry. Teddy and Gus are EVERYTHING and i love them so much.
That ending though? π I canβt wait for Camβs book.

Still loving the story overall but this volume was a little strange, more so Kurosawa was strange and Adachi inviting somebody else to sleepover so he doesnβt have to admit his feelings yet, be so fr. But it was cool to see the connection there with somebody else in the manga. I am so happy the confession finally came, though it felt anticlimactic. Still cannot wait to read the next volume though. π©·
