Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

I truly tried to finish this book but once she left the mortal world it really lost me. The pacing was also all over the place. I love the concept of it and the mythology involved, the writing was just a bit too juvenile for me.

The prose in this book was simply wonderful. The descriptions of yearning and heartache really had me emotional for the whole thing. A true Enemies to Lovers if I ever read one!

God this book was so good I absolutely couldn't put it down when I started it! I'm excited that there is a book where so many identities are represented in a revenge narrative.
