I’m not sure why people are saying that parts of the plot are stolen from ACOTAR. Having read ACOTAR multiple times, I completely disagree. While I see some very vague, similarities, a.k.a. different powers for different realms, the books themselves are not the same.
That being said, the writing is pretty terrible. I enjoyed the story, but the writing needs some work. I couldn’t really get completely engrossed in the characters due to this. The author tells you what the characters feel instead of describing the emotions. It felt flat. It didn’t bother me too much but definitely decreases the rating. The plot twists were somewhat obvious, but I still had a good time reading.
All in all, I enjoyed the read and look forward to reading the next book.
Grim is a POS. I said what I said.
