Ahh I love Kimberly Lemming’s books so muchhhh
I didn’t love this one quite as much as the others sadly but I still really enjoyed it and had a great timee :) I’m not sure if I can put my finger on exactly what put me off a bit but I think in part it was the miscommunication and the ways that Cherry kept missing that Dante and everyone knew her sister. I just felt it to be unnecessary and kinda took me out of the story.
I also felt the different essentially enslaved creatures in both Gideon and Dante’s realms was kinda a weird detail and just felt really unnecessary
Also while they are addressed and dealt with fairly well I still didn’t love the power dynamics of Cherry almost immediately being bonded with Dante against her will and generally made it more difficult to feel comfortable with the rest of their story.
I feel like writing this I’m kinda talking myself into liking it less sadly lol but at least as of now I did overall have a good time reading it just definitely wasn’t a perfect read like some of her other books have been for me.
