What happened with this? I remember enjoying the first one a lot. I was hoping I'd enjoy this one. But Vhalla spends so much time crying and whining and accomplishing things too quickly with little effort, and continuously both misreading/misunderstanding Aldrik and also not communicating anything to him worth a damn, I couldn't stand her in this book. And don't get me started on Mr. Tortured Soul Dark Prince and the fact that even when he's giving signals to Vhalla that he wants to bang, he's also not communicating anything to her worth shit. Just...what even happened here? UGH.
