A review by amywong
The First Night With the Duke by MSG, Teava, Hwang DoTol
slow-paced
2.75
Lost interest and characters seem to be flat and the same throughout. Enjoyable read if you find comfort in that and actually love the characters enough because then it might be charming.

I can see why I DNFed this a long time ago and still agree with that sentiment. Somehow I finally made it through this read. FL is quite possibly the dumbest character I've come across. I think I got through because everyone else was engaging enough this time. I do appreciate that she got to meet the og Ripley and see how she's doing there. I wish they went into how Ripley got back at the friend there because it looks like they're still friends which I really question. Zeronis also felt one dimensional, I'm not quite sold in his quick and hard love for Ripley from the beginning. But aside from the lighthearted vibe, I think what helped alot was the artwork. It really brings out the charm and makes up for the story.
