thank you to netgalley and w by wattpad books for an e-arc of this book.

i loved this book in the first half, i honestly was reading this for i think 4 hours straight before i had to put it down and go to bed. 

the main character, candra was honestly so relatable and i loved her unserious attitude. this book was also the epitome of forced proximity. candra and nemeth are literally locked in a tower with nothing else to do except get together and i ate up every single second of it.

the second half of the book is where i started to loose a little interest. honestly, the second half of this book was almost like another book itself. it was still enjoyable but i just found myself not as invested as i was in the first half. when candra and nemeth faced the outside world together i felt like they lost the spark of their relationship that i loved. also, there was so much added to the plot in the second half of the book it was almost too much to explore just in this book.

i would still recommend this book to anyone who enjoys ruby’s writing or someone who’s looking for a stand alone fantasy romance.
