I enjoyed this I would argue the only 2 downsides where repetition and the references to his YouTube channel. I picked up this book on a recommendation from my university as I am flying to Japan in august this is not my normal choice of reading material. However I did feel I could relate to Chris as I am from the same area as him which I found out after a quick google search and I share some of the aspirations he notes through the book I feel these aspect added to my enjoyment.

I found this book hard to get into and also in some areas lacking in research overall it was good but I thought it felt unfinished at the end.

I enjoyed this book at the root of it but Bryce was absolutely insufferable for the most part, she spent half the book complaining about the fae being selfish and callous and then proceeded to do exactly the same. She is essentially a hypocrite and I have no idea how Hunt puts up with her considering how horrible she was to him throughout. But despite what appears to be the popular opinion I enjoyed Ithan and Tharions stories as they had intricacies that others were lacking. There are some clear set ups for the next book namely the return of Ariadne at the end but otherwise the story felt finished as most ends were tied up.
