Did you see that? That’s how you do a plot twist! That how you do cliffhanger!!!
That’s said, these people are WAY too horny for each other for me to still believe they hate each other. Like, that plot line is tired.At least A is self aware about it! He’s there like “yeah, I’m head over heels, unfortunately my dad is mega abusive and I haven’t unpacked the trauma yet” meanwhile Talasin is like “he was my enemy, but he’s actually so hot and has a tragic backstory that ACTUALLY explains his behavior rather than just excusing it! But NO! I can’t hav feelings for him! He’s the enemy” GIRL!
Every time the describe an outfit I am AGGRESSIVELY reminded that this was a fan-fiction.
There were so many spicy scenes but for a duo of repressed virgins who had no interest in sex up until THIS MOMENT they sure knew what they were up to.
They keep mentioning the need for heirs. So HELP ME if we find out she’s pregnant in the next book I’ll scream!! In true fanfic fashion she will have twin, and it will be a boy and a girl. Mark my word! (I would prefer to be wrong)
The plot was… fine? Everything worked out? Like did anyone else feel like that was too easy? Like we hyped this up for two books and then it ends in a “shoo, go away” ? I was left wanting there.
Anyway, I need the next book with haste. Please and thank you!
