- Main character is incredibly naive and has like two personality traits: protecting her sister, and having trust issues. Oh and the third trait of being incredibly quick to trust things she hears despite trust issues
- Becomes way more interesting about 2/3s in (which at that point is a bit late really)
- Far too many plot twists. Like I'm not kidding, past the half way mark the entire situation changes context about five times
- The ending ruined the entire thing. All the stakes were gone and it made me absolutely hate most of the characters (aside from Aiko who was genuinely helpful but there for like five seconds and Scarlett who was just a normal girl in an awful situation)
- Yes I'm planning on reading the next two books (unless the second one's worse). No I would not recommend
- The prose is beautiful tho

It had so many cool elements but the freaking colors as emotions got repetitive SO fast. I also think this would be better a horror fantasy novel. Not a romantasy. Felt like A LOT was left unaddressed by the author.

II should've been great, the premise was intriguing and offered a lot of mystery, but it all fell flat. the execution was very flawed, the characters basically running in meaningless circles until the last chapter or so. and the ending was very very disappointing. thee romance was lacking, couldn't understand why they were even pulled towards one another in the first place. and the plot was extremely thin even though it had so much potential.
i think what I disliked the most was the writing. it was as subtle as metal pipe to the head. never leaving you to draw your own conclusions or make assumptions, just telling you outright what you're supposed to think and how the characters are feeling instead of actually showing it. it was very weak over all.
i should have dnf'd but here we are. Definitely not picking up the rest of the series though.
