I didn't enjoy this book like I thought I would. The characters were alright, but I feel like there were some problems there that just made it difficult to actually like them. I didn't find myself rooting for anyone, I just wanted it to be over. Honestly I should have just DNF'd the book. I had to push through a lot of the writing, it just wasn't something I could easily get pulled into. I'm curious what will happen next but not curious enough to pick up the next book.

I tried really hard to like this book but the only thing that stopped me from dropping it was the intrigue. I almost DNF it twice, at 44% and 91%. The characters seem flat, motives underdeveloped, world building is plain, certain parts are so repetitive, and I found myself skipping paragraphs to get to more interesting parts.

Amaris such a meh character and I find it hard to root for her at all. At one point, a character asks her why she’s doing this at all and girl I’m honestly asking you the same question.

My biggest issue is with Nox. She is definitely my favorite character but her POVs were few and far between and it’s really hard to miss that she’s the only POC AND constantly getting the short end of the stick. She’s sold to a brothel, SA’d, being used as a white woman’s pawn, etc. Her main goal is to find Amaris again and Amaris doesn’t seem to care about Nox at all!!! I’m not a stranger to some good ol one side pining, but it’s just another burden she has to bear for Amaris. Nox lays down her life over and over again for Amaris and even until the end, Amaris doesn’t seem to give a shit. There’s something so heinous about a POC constantly suffering for the sake of The Whitest Girl.

I don’t think I’ll be reading the sequels for now. Reading this was honestly kind of a frustrating experience.
