At first I did not think that I was going to like this, but then by the end I was in love with it. To me it was what I wanted Twilight to be in terms of somewhat more mature characters and no love triangle. At time I didn't like Poppy because she just wasn't understanding what someone was telling her. I felt for Poppy because she was thrown in a guilded cage her entire life.

I enjoyed the plot but there are some non-consensual aspects of the romantic relationship that was very uncomfortable.  I like that the main character is portrayed as strong and can take care of herself but she's also not very smart and trusts very easily.

Didn’t dislike it as much as I thought I would. It was enjoyable in some parts, some it’s just eh. Some spicy scenes, but I’m also not one for books that hang their hat on just having spicy material to get people to read. I think the plot will be more prevalent in the next one? Interested enough to listen to book 2, not sure on the whole series yet. We’ll have to see!
