“You had wings all along. You only needed a little push to spread them and fly.”
I’m gonna go ahead and say right off the bat that I’m in the minority when it comes to the books in this series because this one was not my favourite. Don’t get me wrong, it was fantastic, but I definitely felt less drawn to it than the other books.
This book was not what I expected. It went so far beyond the whole kidnapping Beauty and The Beast type situation, and that definitely made me like it more. So what didn’t I like? If I’m being honest, both Serafina and Remo weren’t my favourite. Maybe it’s because Remofina has so much hype surrounding it that my expectations were too high, but they just didn’t live up to what I thought they would.
I did really like Serafina, but she was my least favourite of the three female main characters. Maybe it was because she was the least relatable…? I just didn’t connect with her as much as Leona and Kiara, and that made me less invested in the story overall. However, no one can deny that she was ICONIC, and said some pretty iconic things.
“You took something from me, true, but you’re not the only one doing the taking. Maybe you don’t see it yet, but with every bit you take from me, you’re giving me a bit of yourself in return, Remo, and you will never get it back.”
But I do have to say that I adored the last 20% of this book. That’s when things really started to switch up and I was all for it. I just wish I loved the beginning of the book as much as the end.
