Reckless by Lauren Roberts
medium-paced
3.0
This felt like the filler episode in a good tv show where nothing important happens but we get character development and vibes.
It was a fast read and felt like a side character adventure but it was fun. It did get predictable and boring at times but it was still enjoyable. They really played on the chemistry between the two and cleared the air on most of their miscommunication errors which was nice. 90% full of our favourite tropes btw. There are so many moments that it felt almost too much but it works fine.
There is no magic in this book- at all. Which I found interesting but they didn’t do a lot with building the surrounding city’s much more than the general animosity towards the “Magic Onlys Party” city. They did play into a more physical defence tactic due to not having anyone for Kai to mimic and where he falls short she exceeds and how they “work” together was fun.
Much like the first one where it’s not too serious of a read that’s more of a fun time full of tropes.
It felt very slow until 60% when things start to pick up AND THAT ENDING ?? I DIDNT THINK THEY WOULD DO THAT TO US ???
I’m sat for the third one now.
