adventurous medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

some of the racism in the last book decided to pop out in this one in a way much more that just an aside

also the beautiful masterpiece you could create if you went queer polycule with this series. alas. 2015. someone out there has to understand

world building and magic weren’t as fleshed out as they could be, and sometimes the dialogue was a little too modern, but i liked the main characters and their dynamics

was it good? i don’t know. did it itch a very specific itch in my brain? yes

tbh for the first half i genuinely thought this was the best dark romance i’d read (this just isn’t a genre for me) but when it became mostly sex that generally made me uncomfortable (people are trying to get degrees!!!!) i lost a lot of interest
