This book was just very okay. It didn’t give me anything. It didn’t glue me to my seat. But it was enjoyable enough. The world was described beautifully and I liked reading Jude being a little shit. That’s always fun.
I personally don’t understand the hype. I’ve read better enemies-to-lovers and better ya fantasy. But maybe that’s just me. I highly doubt I’ll continue to read the series, this book wasn’t really able to get me engaged with the world, but I’m also glad I now have a better understanding of the book everyone seems to be talking about these days.
