Oh! How I loved the book and was so into it throughout. I was excited, thrilled, emotional, tense, hot, angry, happy and so many more. I was feeling a lot of emotions altogether. It was a really nice adventure like I felt like I was there at Basgiath in Violet's place. And I love the transaction between her and Xaden. The tension, God!!! And the nickname!!! I just loved it.

The plot really pulled me in but I felt like the worldbuilding was weak. Also a bunch of the plot felt frustrating to me. It has a soap opera quality that both turned me off and made me curious. 

It was cool to have the heroine's hypermobility/connective tissue issues as a focal point.  I really appreciated the viewpoint and found it relatable. Also

how she worked on her body but also focused on finding accompdations for herself (poisions, the knife in the gauntle, etc.) And that a large part of the romance was her refusing to be with someon  who doesn't believe in her. I liked that Xaden  was okay with  accommodating her and letting her do things her own way.

freesiaelect's review against another edition

Holy hot garbage, batman! This book may have been good if it had been edited to remove about 66% of the blathering angsty narration, but as is trying to make it through this neverending story felt like trying to wade through thick mud.
