this was disappointing compared to the last binding, which i loved!! i feel like it was lack-luster and leaned heavily on the romance element of 'romantasy' but was 1. insta lust, and 2. lacking in any sort of deeper level connection between the two main characters. i wanted more of the fantasy element honestly :/// the characters themselves were fine, and somewhat fleshed out, but the plot was paper thin and uninspired. i also felt like there were no stakes so i didn't care at all what happened.
