This book was incredible and I’m so sad I have to wait for the second to be released in paperback ( books list match!). 
I did experience some confusion during the book regarding some of the lore. I thought I was keeping track but then something didn’t seem to track for me. I’ll probably go back and re analyse

Otherwise, great characters and plot and world building all around.

3.5 ⭐ but rounding down

The climax of the book was actually quite good but when a certain thing happened (iykyk) it kinda went a bit crazy

Am interested to see how the promise in the epilogue is fulfilled in the sequel

The plot felt predictable and boring, the main character was so clueless it was unbearable, and the enemies to lovers set up was flimsy at best.
