I really loved this book. There are much plot holes, which is awesome. This is a pure true love story set in a dark world. I do want to point out that the author is graphic in their descriptions, but they also dedicate time to the recovery of the characters.

Pretty good but the ending dragged on a bit with two kidnapping-esque instances happening one after the other. 
Before that though, I enjoyed it immensely. I like the character interactions. It's not a comedy, but there are light-hearted moments. 
I knew how some things were going to turn out, but I couldn't figure out how they would explain it, so it was satisfying in the end when identities were revealed.

 This has so much potential, the first 30% was the strongest in the book. I love where it was going and while I'm not into the whole magic system, I was invested. The romance started really strong, characters are not annoying and the world felt magical, but then it just went into a completely different direction in the 2nd and 3rd act. Plot become boring and predictable, characters felt flat and the end was just meh

4.5

Listen… this is a good book. Sometimes, but only sometimes, there was too much sex for me and I was thinking what happened to the plot line, but when we got back to the plot it was all worth it. And really, there’s only one real described sex scene, the others are more fade to black, but still enjoyable. Just not spicy spicy if that’s what others are looking for. No cliffhanger at the ending, but still so many questions are open. And I really like the world and I think book 3 is even about another character of the „friends“ group, which I‘m really looking forward to.
