Pacing was weird for me in this one. Like the relationship takes off two minutes after they meet and that was confusing but at the same time the book felt too long? Idk

I am so mad I waited so long to read this. So many things I did not expect, I felt a lot of feelings, and this was a beautiful story

I did not enjoy this. It feels overly messy and certain characters didn't need to be centered for as long as they were. It is also unnecessarily long

This could have been 200 pages shorter and it is clear that she is not a fantasy writer. So many plotholes and things that did not make sense
