I liked it more than I thought I would. This book often gets recommendations alongside ACOTAR and I didn't enjoy the latter (DNF'ed ACOMAF), so expected more of the same with this one, but it wasn't. First of all, there wasn't a bait and switch romance and second of all I actually liked the FMC. I believed her when she said she'd become worse than them. She had a backbone. I wasn't immediately sold on the MMC, but he grew on me as more got revealed about him.
