I’ll admit I was struggling to get through the first half of this book - and considering how short it is, I considered that a pretty bad sign of things to come. However I think it improved massively by the end, and the final 2 chapters did some very heavy lifting.
Based on the blurb, I was expecting a lot more romance but it was barely there at all. I felt the book kept me at a distance (not sure if that was deliberate or not) but it meant I had no emotional stake in the story sadly.
If nothing else, this book was very creative and was absolutely able to hold my attention, which is quite difficult atm!
