the book was mid… not the worst I've read but definitely not a standout. the characters were a bit underdeveloped yet I was engaged with the story up to about 80%. I was genuinely planning to write a positive review to counter the book's negative reception but the ending really let me down.
BTW I’m team grim all the way,,, I just couldn’t buy the protagonist ending up with oro. I mean I like him but the chemistry with grim was way stronger. celeste’s betrayal was pretty obvious, so it didn’t bother me.

I’ve seen a lot of criticism about the writing and maybe there were a few points where there could have been improvement, at the end of the day, this book was very entertaining and I read through it within 2 days. In the beginning of the book especially I found it a bit strange how there would be a hint or two at something strange and then right after you start wondering what might be up, there is a thorough explanation and solution to the mystery lol. Although, the main mystery of how to break the curse was well maintained and had me wondering how things would end the entire time. There also is a strong plot twist at the end that I think would have been difficult to see coming, but when you read again there are bits and pieces that do point to the revelation. Overall, this book was very entertaining and I enjoyed reading it!!

the pacing felt a bit slow at times, and sometimes the characters felt a bit unbelievable. the plot twist near the end though… ok, i won’t spoil it, but i’m glad i decided to finish this book to the end. will i read the second book in the series? i don’t know yet.
