It’s a DNF I think. I really liked the 20% or so but I just don’t think it’s going to be for me, and it’s just too long considering I’m not invested.
I’ve realised that there are tropes in this that I’m just not a fan of and I won’t enjoy when revealed. I’m also not a fan of the romance or Kaan, I just find him frustrating.
I liked Raeve to begin with but it’s slowly dwindling the more I read and I’m also finding her frustrating (she’s claiming she hasn’t been a good house guest or been kind to him like he hasn’t literally kidnapped her, threatened her, and physically hurt her when he stuck his finger in her wound?? Also the constant emphasis on how big he was got old, and cringy, very quick). 
I didn’t dislike the writing style as much as some who’ve read this but it felt like the story relied solely on the glossary and didn’t interweave the world building throughout the story and narrative, leaving me confused at points. 
I don’t think I’ll like the direction this story is heading in, which is a shame because I really do like the world, it’s very atmospheric and whimsical but in a darker way which I like.

Boy did I want to love this.

I had to dnf at 66% because it felt like an ACOTAR amalgam fanfic. With all the peace and love in the world, the best comparison I can make is Twilight/50 Shades.

Maybe one day I’ll come back to it and eat my words, but for now, she’s staying in Kindle jail.

I was booooooored! And the writing was cringe to me.
