This book is so good I'm speechless.

The character development, the world building, Ramson, everything wass just... *chef's kiss*

Can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. 

P.S: Ramson is the newest love of my life and I'm not complaining.

this seemed fun but it was honestly a chore to get through. It contained some promising elements, interesting tropes etc... The writing wasn't terrible but it still failed to deliver somehow? A few too many clichés, and some of the emotions didn't feel raw enough to me. Somehow I never connected enough to the mc to care about her grief and pain so it didn't struck any chords with me. I could easily call the plot twists as well so it didn't keep me on the edge of my seet. Maybe I'm just not the right audience for this (anymore)?
