Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
I don't remember where this was recommended to me but decided to just give it a go and was very pleasantly surprised! I really liked the slow pacing throughout most of the book and the story progression. I also really like that you get introduced to all these characters, and you know its RH, but yet you don't know how its actually going to work and who is or is not included. My only complaint is that the slow burn very suddenly went to 100%. Like you're going slow the entire book and suddenly wham, the burning is done. Would have preferred if no one got together until later books.
This book is a great example of why you should atleast finish the first chapter before putting a book down... I got like halfway through chapter 1 and it just felt like every other Insta love book and I was so annoyed cus this book kept getting recommended because of the hurt/comfort and I just didn't see it happening. But then the I decided to try again, and I finished chapter 1... And I was completely sold and devoured the whole book in a few days! I feel like last year I wouldve rated this 5 stars but I'm being stricter this year, and there was parts in this book I was kind of meh about. Mainly it just felt a little too long and it was a little too Insta lovey for me.
Damn wow I didn't realise how mixed the reviews were for this book lol. I don't know anything about the rest of this series but am highly invested in the story to find out! I loved it so much, and am very much just imaging she's 20 turning 21, the age is my only critique. Besides that it was so dark and twisted and I'm invested and ready for war.
