2.0

Honestly, not what I thought. It was 3rd POV but like not through a narrative perspective like 3rd POV through the MC? And there wasn’t a lot of difference to characters when the “POV” changed. A Lot more comedic than anticipated. I was expecting a morally gray villain but did not receive a morally gray villain.

Ahhh this book is so good! Light and clever with so much personality. Original but also nostalgic and a cute romance with serious issues but it doesn’t feel heavy. I love Evie and The Villain and I was so excited to have his point of view too- I squealed to myself the first time. I can wait to read more and I’m sure I’ll read this again.

This is such a cute book. The world building feels like a combination of fantasy and modern (there's

an accounting office within the "bad guy's" massive, castle-esque manor that's hidden by magic

) in a way that actually blends well, if a bit goofy. It doesn't take itself too seriously in that regard, but it also doesn't come across as sloppy or poorly designed.

While the overall story is quite light-hearted and even silly, there are a few heavier plot points

Spoiler

such as the death of a child and an attempted rape

but they are written rather tastefully and aren't dragged out or made unnecessarily explicit. 

The book does set itself up to be a series at the end by leaving a bit of a cliffhanger and plenty of loose ends. From my understanding, there will be two more books and I will definitely be picking them up when they're released.

It was so average until the last 50 pages of so which annoyingly had me hooked (hence the .5 extra stars)
