The book is short but that's not the problem, I've read short books that are interesting and tell compelling stories. In a way I'm thankful it's so short so I don't lose my patience and throw it on my dnf pile. The old man's habits to share personal stories of other people get fastidious very quickly. Just getting the feeling that this is another age gap romance fantasy that the author seems to repeat in his books...

The mystery surrounding the Sylvia thickens and pushes you to turn the page. Love that. Arin and Sylvia are growing closer but there isn't space or time to develop upon anything because factors that are outside of their control. Love that also. So much tension whether it be romantic or circumstantial in terms of world politics. I don't want to finish this book because the prose is so beautiful.

the tension is so thick I could NOT cut it with a knife. because it's that voluminous. the hate Sylvia and Arin harbour for one another is layered which elevates this MEAL of a book. the mystery and mind games are what pus you to turn the page. very nuanced characters. I'm absolutely in love with the story.

loving stephen and grace. I know the point is that there is rimance. but I want them to build more trust instead of more lust... (not I mind to be honest.)
the plot is finally setting in but it feels a bit slow nonetheless.

not finishing this. none of the characters are likable sadly and the plot is not interesting in the slightest.

istvhan is my fav character if something happens to him I will end everyone and then myself
