I didn't ask or want to be so invested in this series. It's kinda my fault I guess.
It's a personal problem π - addiction to books, and the unfortunate effects of being a mood reader, really. These are so very Wattpad-like, it's unnerving. Not that I want to generalize all Wattpad stories, but yeah, you get it.
Look- I appreciate the overall story and the individual characters till now. The dialogues were swoon-worthy and straight-up corny, yet clichΓ©...like always π. I appreciate that a lot of thought was put into it. But, I DON'T appreciate the length of this story, and how some themes were handled at many, many places throughout this story. And, it's also slightly sexist, maybe?
I just think the storyline is going to: extremely predictable and trashy.
(Ironically, I have to take back what I said in this book's prequel, Connor is the most ordinary and sane character in all of these books. π)
I think I'm going to end it with this one.
Finally....
If I have to compare (before I talk myself of it, you know π . Don't judge π):
Gillow> Raisy> Coballoway > Lilo and...
In terms of character development: Connor>Garrison>Ryke> Lo...and... Willow> Daisy> Rose & Lily
