If I had to hear “sexy af” one more time, I would’ve lost my mind.
In all seriousness, the book was… fine. It was very much a YA novel that almost completely mirrored Twilight. I can see the appeal for many people, but I found the characters just plain old annoying. There was just a little TOO much teenage angst, and I just can’t believe it took Grace 70% of the book before she figured out she was in a magical school. There’s no way.
I did think the plot was interesting, but the first half was so slow that it took away from the excitement of the plot and my enthusiasm for the book in general.
All in all, this was a book. I can see and respect the enjoyment others found in this, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series.
