Things I liked
- Loved the concept and story
- Female rage
- Insane ending with a great plot twist
- I don’t know if I’ve read anything that made me feel so many emotions so strongly at once
- Second half
Things I didn’t like
- Poor writing; the writing is a big reason it took me so long to get through this book. The writing felt a bit childish at times and a little odd
- I can tell the themes the author wanted to convey but again, because of poor writing, the execution didn’t quite make the landing
- First half was kinda difficult to get through but things picked up in the second half
Most of my gripes stem from poor writing choices so I won’t list off everything. It’s also hard to remember some of the early parts because it had been a few months since I had started reading. I will most likely read Heavenly Tyrant when it comes out and I hope improvements can be made
