First flaw, Zamira. I never really cared for her as the female lead. I didn’t feel connected to her and I didn’t particularly like following her as the woman.
Second flaw, connection with the characters. Ace, Blais and Theon. On the surface, great characters. But apart from feeling a very small connection to Blais, I didn’t feel invested in their story or why they were the way they were.
I think that’s the main issue with this book for me. For an over 600 page book, it was rare I ever felt connected to the characters and as a result I didn’t mind all that much about the plot. Yes it’s steamy/smutty and has twists and turns but I had to skim read by the end because it was just too long. Sadly, it had all the ingredients for me to love but personally it wasn’t for me.
