Even with so many good reviews, I’ve seen a LOT of bad talk about this book also and I’ve put off reading it for a long time just because of all the back and forth I’ve heard about it. 

I’m gonna be so real rn, I do not understand the negative shit talk about this book?? Like basically any fantasy book, I had a hard time following for the first 50 pages. Learning so much weird terminology or crazy long, unpronounceable names makes it hard to follow but I caught on quicker than usual and I was sucked in so bad I couldn’t get the book out of my head any time I wasn’t reading and I wanted to do nothing other than binge read it. 

I personally love seeing an underestimated fmc grow and become stronger and more confident. I love an enemies to lovers plot. I love a misunderstood mmc. The PLOT itself was incredible in my opinion, like sure the writing itself could’ve been a little better but the story was so fucking good. 

Now I’m pissed because I refuse to buy hardcover books and I still cannot buy the second one in paperback so I will be waiting like almost five months to continue in the series 😫
