This series had so much potential. Overall, I liked it. But I had some issues. I thought it was too fast. Like the world was pretty cool with cool concepts but it all wrapped up super quick and I felt like it could’ve gone on for a lot longer. Also, this book specifically, the FMC was bothering me lol. Every other chapter ended with her passing out or blacking out. Like girl. Get up. I also wanted to know more about the MMCs lives prior to meeting the FMC. Another issue I had, the FMC just started getting magically good at mastering her affinities. seemed unrealistic. And the way she handled her family and interpersonal relationships seemed off to me. 

The idea for the series was good. But I wished there was more to it.
