I liked it at first despite the gratuitous violence but it slowly became more cringe as time went on. Hated the romance, it was like a p*rno in some parts. I assumed because I liked Daughter of No Worlds it would be similar, it wasn't. I hated the relationship between Vincent and Oraya as well, it screamed abuse and brainwashing to me. This book made me realize that I don't think I like Romance. Like I love romances in fiction, but not Romance as a genre if that makes sense.
I could go on but many aspects of this book were just so bad from a technical perspective that I found it difficult to overlook. The characters had no depth so it was hard to get into. I actually liked Fourth Wing MORE and I thought it was pretty dreadful!
