This book was super highly anticipated for me, so I’m so bummed to have not loved it! The premise of this book sounded so fascinating. Unfortunately, I found the plot to be choppy & often didn’t seem to make sense or flow, the antagonist was over the top evil in a way that wasn’t interesting, the two main characters lacked chemistry & their romance went from 0 to 100 with what felt like 0 build up, & I felt as though the explanation of the magic system & world building was lacking. I’ve seen lots of others rave about this book so perhaps this is just not for me. 

Nonetheless, thank you so so very much to Random House Canada for the ARC copy!
