4.0
so many plot twists and although I saw a few coming, I think that makes them more believable and a show of good hinting writing. Other than that I’m surprised by how much I actually liked this book. I don’t really like YA fantasy and I’m wary of the enemies to lovers trope. I liked how this book showed a flawed, strong and still feminine main character. Even though they don’t show up a lot in the story, I adore Viv and Heather <3 Viv is so snarky and you can genuinely feel for her.
