I wanted to like this one so badly. There were some aspects that really intrigued me but the writing style, characterizations, and pacing just werenāt it for me.
Second Read Review: Update 08.24.2023
So I went back and finished the book. I have to admit that it surprised me. The first time I made it about a quarter of the way through and didn't really connect with the characters or plot. Diving back in at that point, I did continue to struggle with it for a while, but around 50-60% it got better. I struggled with the pacing of the book because it felt like it was moving very fast-- and it was, but in the second half of the book, we started to get more substance to the story that drew me in.Ā
The spice was 10/10, that was never the issue for me.Ā
All in all, I think I'm on board to read more in this series. Maybe not the entire thing, or even in order, but there are some other characters that I would like to know more about. I've got my eyes on you, Ty š
