  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Thank you for netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this to review and here's my honest opinion 
Until 50% of the book I was not liking this at all it was very slow paced and the characters weren't appealing to me I was just continuing to know what happen but I didn't care but after that the events picked out miraculously including the romance which I was dreading at the start but found myself excited for it in the last 50% so the book surprised me in a really good way. Absolutely loved the ending and that epilogue was so well written to be honest the whole writing style is amazing but I guess I wasn't picking it up because how bored I was with the events at the start. I would definitely be buying a physical copy for myself also can't wait to see what happens in the second but would definitely recommend for the author to divide her pacing a little more for the reader to get attached from the beginning.
