âď¸âď¸âď¸.75/5
This book was so close to a 4âď¸ that I could taste it, but as usual I had some issues with it. But first, the positives. What a way to start a series! For one thing, itâs a great opener of a book. The first in a trilogy, itâs sometimes hard to grasp the readers attention like this book did. The characters, for the most part are cleverly crafted, full bodied and memorable. Some did lack in the background, or didnât age well in terms of readability in the last 10 years since itâs initial release. Which did knock a little half point off of the total score, blame the mcâs friend, not me. However, I immensely enjoyed Karou, she was funny, kind, intelligent although sometimes naive. She and Brimstone and the other Chimaera held this book in place, which made the plot twist all more bittersweet. The reason why this book wasnât a 4âď¸ was: pacing, the pacing started off strong, then went EVERYWHERE nearing the middle and end. Some of the characters, like I mentioned, havenât aged well. And I am NOT a fan of âinsta-loveâ. Even with the plot twist, itâs still instalove. And I hate it
