My main complaint is about the protagonist, Iris. I found her largely unlikeable and her behavior was downright erratic at times. I lost it when
I was also not a fan of the love triangle (love square? Love pentagon? Maybe even a hexagon.) It was unnecessary and annoying to read through. Perhaps just Jinn and Adam would have been fine. But
One thing that also bothered me was when
I liked the ending. I was actually surprised when
I also approve of the way Raughley addressed the issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality.
In the end, this book was not for me, but if you're interested, I recommend giving it a go!
