it took me like half of the book to get into the story, but once I had reached that point I really enjoyed it.
it’s a really pretty story and i like how you don’t know where it’s taking you (different to when you’re reading a romance book and you know it’s gonna end with a hea for example) but the writing felt rushed at times? I would’ve preferred more descriptions of the setting and the emotions. I’ve also come to realize that I don’t like the omniscient pov in books lol but I did like how the focus laid on different characters than only the mc.
