Yikes! This book was simply not good. This gets more than a one star because like, at least I was slightly entertained by the hate-read and the reading went by fast, but here's everything wrong with this piece of work:

  • horrific worldbuilding, told mainly in exposition dumps, that left me so confused
  • the only two characters of color being named Tawny and Kieran (which means black in Irish). fuck outta here with that
  • a stupid main character who lacks any sort of critical thinking skills
  • predictable plot twist
  • honeydew
  • dubious consent
  • terrible writing and a few grammatical and syntactical mistakes in the published book
  • I was at least promised some spice to make my reading worthwhile and apart from the first scene, the first time we got any of that was page 440 of a 600 page book. liars.
  • and so much more! i simply cannot be bothered to waste any more of my time or proverbial breath on this thing.

I beg you to skip over this series.
