Book was okay. Dragged a lot in the middle.  Would’ve liked to have seen more of the competition between the women. 

Minor twist st the end. 

Too dark for me to continue this series. I would’ve DNFd if I realized book was part of a series. 

Definitely an interesting read. It does follow your standard romantasy formula with a no one girl who is deemed special. It’s very SJM inspired with how the story flows. It’s like if From Blood and Ash was written better in my opinion with a less annoying MFC. Ngl, Lore is THAT GIRL. I also love the first line in the book. It’s definitely going to grab your attention. There’s subtle themes of the unfairness of capitalism and classism within the backdrop of the book.  Lore makes it a point to show the difference between her and other contestants just based off life experiences. I’m on to the next book 🫡
