Whew! Well that was fun!
I felt like this book was trope city and reminded me of a bunch of other YA books from my highschool years. We have the competition of the hunger games, the love triangle of twilight, the royal prince having a crush on the poor girl from the selection series. Felt very nostalgic even though I’d never read it.
It was a very easy read and the story was sweet and very easy to follow but I’m excited for it to get more interesting cause it felt very surface. I liked seeing the connection to Crescent City though with the mention of my girl, Wyrd (Urd!)
And…. I’ve seen tik toks hating him so I know he’s probably about to flip a switch and be a D-bag that I loathe, but if I’m being honest….. right now…. I’m team KA-CHAOL!
Idk Dorian is a little too full of himself for my liking. But also seriously how TF did ka-Chaol get the job of Captain of the Guard at 22 having never killed a man????? UNREALISTIC IF YOU ASK ME!
Anywho, CROWN OF MIDNIGHT, YOURE UP, BABYCAKES!
