The pacing was sluggish, with the most engaging” and “exciting” moments reserved for the end. Numerous dialogues and scenes seemed unwarranted, often using verbose explanations to fill pages rather than advancing the story. It's disappointing because the plot was promising. Don't even get me started on the ending 🙄 A cliffhanger when the storyline was finally getting good……Brother eugh!! What do you mean?????? 🤦🏾♀️I don't even want to read the next book at this point🧍🏾♀️

There were some annoyances. Thorne uses very formal speech most of the time, but then starts talking about his dick in very casual, modern language, and that switch in register felt jarring. Some parts were rather infodumpy. Very little happens in the non-romance plot until the last 5 chapters or so, when suddenly everything goes to hell in a handbasket.

I am confused to the point that my brain feels as though it has melted through my ears. I am either incredibly stupid, or I have no idea what was happening for the majority of the book.😖🤷♀️
For a good chunk of the story, it was endless exposition that made little to no sense along with sexy times between Lis and Thorne. I was hooked at the beginning of the book, but the middle dragged on and on; simultaneously making little sense but also info dumping??
The last 20% of the book hooked me again. Finally, there was action! And some questions were answered! But wait, those answers only made me more confused, so yeah, I don't know what to think lol.😅
Someone else described this book perfectly: Fall of Ruin and Wrath read more like a prequel than an actual fully-formed book. Nevertheless, I am somewhat hooked, so I will be reading the next book. Depending on how I like it, I might change this review. For now, I will keep it at 3.5. 🐥💕

I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this so much, but the relationships between all of the characters were just 😘👌
I'm not usually one for Romantasy and also usually avoid the smut and head for the gore instead... but this had the perfect amount of both! Every other chapter was spicy and made you want more, but the scenes with the blood and gore were top-notch!!
Thankyou @books_and_boxes11 for lending me your edition, I now understand why you cannot wait for book 2!
If this ends up doing a Shadow & Bone I will be sorely disappointed. Let Thorne be the good guy, i desperately need this 😂
