miayukino's review against another edition

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

Similar to ACOTAR, while this isn’t exactly my thing and I don’t want to keep investing my time, I’m still curious as to what happens next. Biggest issue with this book is the huge missed opportunity for disability representation in favor of implied disability and rampant internalized shame from the character who is disabled.

There are no surprises on the fiction/story part of the book, which focus mostly on a love (but mostly sexual) story
