this would be so much better if the tone of the book matched the content. but the writing style is so juvenile

so first person can be well written and enjoyable…

the content of this book is so adult and dark, but the tone and writing of the perspective is so immature in places that it’s super jarring.

it makes it really hard to stay focused on the narrative

WHY write half the book in first person pov just to switch to third person for the mmc’s perspective?? just write in third the whole time, omfg

i can’t prove it but this is sjm’s fault, i just know it

the potential is so peak but the pov is so limiting. the levels of unreliable narrator we could be hitting right now… sigh

We need to free romance fantasy authors from the shackles of first person, I’m so serious

“You named the cleaner bot Ezra Fitz? Why?”

“‘Cause Ezra Fitz sucks, Carl”

i’m running with the Boiled Leather combined reading order for this bad boy. fingers crossed!

yes, i’m attempting the combined read. no, it don’t think it’s a good idea either. and yet here we all are anyway

an absolutely GOAT’d end to the epilogue. holy shit.

it’s just SO good

Someone teach Ali Hazelwood ways to conclude chapters that aren’t:

A) falling asleep
B) getting knocked out in the middle of an action sequence

We hit the smut and Ms Ali is done with anything plot related.

Time to wrap this shit up in 30 pages or less despite pretending it held actual narrative weight for 400 pages. Wooo!

Against my better judgement,,,, I am eating this up

I feel like Ali Hazelwood is going the way of SJM where her writing worsens with every new book instead of improving.
