It was so long for no reason. Honestly, nothing happened in the first 200 pages and what did happen in the last 100 pages was not nearly enough to make a whole story. And after all that, the author just finishes it off on a cliffhanger. No.

The beginning and ending were super strong and I loved them but the middle hundred pages were so slow. It was so hard to get through them.

I think they overcomplicated being a vegetarian. It’s much easier and simpler than they make it seem, but there are some good recipes.

I kinda hated the writing style and thought it was way too fast but am I going to run right to the rest of this series? Yes, most definitely.
