The art is gorgeous and the concept is interesting but the execution of this mini series felt sloppy and discombobulated. I feel like it was a way to showcase a ton of different characters without having the most cohesive of plots to tie them together well. Overall, very disappointing.

The concept of this book sounded so fun and enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, unfortunately, this Turner book just didn’t work out well for me. For starters, I disliked our main female protagonist, Brynn. At no point in this book did I warm up to her and her bratty personality. Additionally, the enemies to lovers plot that was heavily toted in the synopsis just didn’t pan out. Once Brynn and Sebastian are around each other, it is basically a pretty instant attraction. Another issue for me is the pacing. The first half of this book is a slog to get through whereas the second half is almost Hallmark like in its pacing and storytelling. All in all, while an okay read, it is rather forgettable and bland.

I am still loving this series! My only complaint is the rather incestuous depictions of Yuri. I don’t see what purpose they ultimately serve and they are highly uncomfortable.
