I’m going to keep this short; This story is pretty boring and bad. There are some moments—tiny ones—that I enjoyed. Would I recommend just because of these fun moments? No. Was it my fault I read the omnibus instead of the books separately? Probably. But it still feels way too long and there is no real goal or plot, it’s more like events happening.
The writing and story-building was and is bad but I liked the simple concept or idea. However, everything is just put so weirdly. I don’t know the premise of the world, all they really give is that there are fae, witches, and humans. Then out of nowhere, we suddenly have a Dragon (I did skim read though so I might’ve missed something… idk). There was also so much repetition. Whether it be the writing, relationships, characters, etc.
The end was kind of random and definitely bad. There was no real “villain”. And while I did understand why Malachi died the first time; there was absolutely no reason for him to die the second time. Especially so close to the ending; he was obviously going to live.
They built Jade and Malachi’s relationship to be some sort of symbiotic existence; they could not live without each other. On the topic of their “romance”—which is probably the only reason the author has written this book(although I don’t want to assume; only if they did). Which is pretty sad because not only were they kind of mediocre in their fantasy writing, their romance was so lifeless. Plus the fact they were “made for each other” puts me off even more. That is NOT a love story. Their relationship would take one step forward and proceed to take 2 steps back. I mean, in the end they do solve their problems with each other, get through their emotions, and end up loving each other. However, while there probably is love I think the most of it is the acceptance—which could be a part of what love is but I don’t know 🤷.
In conclusion, this book was not worth it. Actually, the only reason I have this book in the first place is because of TikTok and the fact that it was on a discount AND signed. It sounded like a deal. But what Is the point of a discounted book if it is not to my tastes? It is like buying something for the sake of cheapness rather than the quality or necessity or want.
