in general, i enjoyed reading this book! it was a very easy read and there were several parts that were very intriguing but i had gotten kinda bored of adam and juliette's thing. it took alot away from great potentional world building. i am really excited to see how the stories progress though! definitely going to start the 2nd book very soon!

honestly i didn’t expect to be this engrossed in this book but i didn’t want to put it down! even before i finished i ordered the two remaining books of the trilogy because i knew i needed to continue this series!
this book does deal with heavy topics (make sure to check trigger warnings) and the character development for some actions aren’t major but i am hoping and relying on the development to improve in the next two books. there were some things that really bothered me but i held on knowing the main character knew when certain things were bad and immoral and refused to participate so it showed that these gross acts were not glorified

i really enjoyed reading this book! i’ll be honest there were just a couple parts that bored me but there were so many more moments that intrigued me so much that i didn’t want to put the book down. this is the first book i used an audiobook for and it was really good! if you like audiobooks, i recommend it!

god i really enjoyed this book. it gave off a huge vibe of the type of fan fiction (writing style-wise) i usually read which made me fall in love with it even more. the trope of enemies to lovers always gets to me and the main character being a poc makes me so happy! the hype surrounding this book is well deserved!

this series........ i felt so empty the moment i finished it. i’ve grown such a deep love for these characters i don’t even know what to do now. all in all i am so happy i decided to read this series. it was very heavy, very angsty, but the chosen and found family trope honestly had me in tears. it’s safe to say this is one of my favorite series that i’ve read!
