FINALLY!
I FINALLY finished this book. The whole time, I trudged through it like it was mud. The writing was dense and there was a lot of info-dumping at the beginning.
The "protagonist", El, was an interesting character. Boy, did she have mood swings. Sometimes she was all protective of the Golden Boy, other times, she was rude to him. I don't know how they ended up being a couple.
I do want to address the "racial" problem this book supposedly had. I understand if anyone unfriends me because of the following statement, but . . . the monsters that hide in dreadlocks ISN'T racist. I've seen many people have dreads, no matter their color. So . . . I don't know why this was such a big problem considering it was literally ONE SENTENCE.
However, the plot itself was pretty good. We got what the premise promised us.
Overall, a nice read.
