2.0

at first i gave this four stars. after letting it digest, i realised that i didn’t actually like the story. i liked the moody atmosphere created. the main character was a pushover (but same) and her relationship with elora AND zane was never actually developed. it was all very surface level.
i also hated the incest plot. it was gross and unnecessary. they were raised together since they were kids which makes it unstomach-able
