2.5
Full disclosure: I should have just looked it up on the internet.
Look, I am a massive fan of both ACOTAR and TOG. But this series makes my brain melt.
CC2 is even more bloated and convoluted than the first. There are subplots that have no purpose in moving the narrative forward, the two main characters are the worst in all her series, and I am so over the Bond Villain style evil plan reveals at the end.
There are also so many phrases used in this book that make me cringe. Particularly when it comes to the spicy scenes
That being said, I’m giving this 2.5 stars because I didn’t feel the need to DNF, I liked the fact we got to see from other (better, more rounded) side characters’ perspectives, even if they were ALL male, and ultimately, because the ending will make me read on.
I have zero willpower.
