Why is the writing so flowery? It's 70% poetry, and it's so cringy. The writing style is not for me, and neither are the metaphors. Kai is spending pages and pages just describing his love/hate for Paedyn: "I am the flame that can never escape her shadow—blah, blah, blah," while actively on a quest to kill her. He's not even trying to kill her; he's just chasing her and teasing her. Maybe romantasy isn't for me.
