The story would have been better with more plot. Neither characters were developed much.

So....not sure what will be flagged but let's just say that certain scenarios in this are crimes without an agreement between those involved. And its written so we all know this but can still appreciate the fantasy that comes with Cookies Need Chocolate. That being said I liked the author notes but usually just skipped reading them cuz I want the juicy moments!

I enjoyed this book but some aspects weren't really for me. I feel like the quality of this book compared to the Dark Olympus series is also lacking. There were a lot of small grammatical/spelling mistakes, enough that I noticed and it slightly affected my experience.
The pacing towards the end was a little fast, I wished we got more time to see the anger in Jasmine blossoming instead of the book just telling us it was happening.
I also missed some of the connections between Jasmine and Jafar. They have a lot of history but we don't really get to know the depth of it, just fairly general statements about their past.
Overall, I still enjoyed getting to know Carver City and the characters. I'm looking forward to starting book 2 soon!
