dragged soooo much at the end. Unfortunately I didn't care about the characters at all, Preston felt so flat and their romance ?? 0 chemistry. Effy hated him at first out of (straight up) racism, and then fell in love just as fast. She treated him so poorly, confronting him for no reasons it was so annoying. Preston would just let her use him as a doormat, before deciding to team up with her ??
Other than that. I was hooked for 70% of the book, I loved the fairy-tales, the myths, the gothic elements. Definitely don't regret reading it, despite it's flaws.
