You would think that with world building and context of story, many fantasy books take time to get a good pace going, but honestly, Book 1 started off well and kept a good pace with good context and story building. The one issue I always have is that sometimes the author is too much in the mcโs thoughtsโฆ. Too much thinking and explaining and not enough action happeningโฆ. Which is something that carries throughout the series landing it my 4 star for all 3 booksโฆ.

So the Secret is out! But will that chemistry simmerโฆ.. only time will tell. And a bit more explanation as to the โend of the worldโ but overall good book!

Ahhh where All the action happens! The MCs are separated for a big chunk of the book for good reasonโฆ of course! And unfortunately I skim pieces of this one because as much of the action is good story, meh, I want the book to get to the end already! ๐
cause I want to know what happens! But thats just me being impatient, not that the story isnt good!
Overall, I really enjoyed this romantasy, I think im ready to dive into ACOTAR next!
