I absolutely loved the beginning. I really thought it would be a 5 star read for me, but stuff happened that just turned me off of it. The vibe just completely changed almost halfway through. As much as I liked the characters and unique storyline, some of the angsty plot points involving Archer I strongly disliked. They were understandable, considering the context...but I didn't enjoy reading them at all. I actually had to skim some chapters to get through it. He got over his debilitating trauma way too fast and the ending felt kinda rushed.
Overall, it was a beautiful story. I really loved the fmc! One of the most likable main characters I've read in a long time. And some plot twists were great! I didn't see a lot of things coming and I appreciate that in a book:)
