Hmm I cant say that I'm satisfied with that ending. I definitely wanted a happier and more conclusive one.

I think I'll have to think on that ending some more to decide if it was thematically a good one, cause I can kinda see that argument. Especially with all that talk of hope.

Tentative rating: 3 or 3.5 / 5

These two are cute together. At the start, I was worried that their relationship wouldnt be believable. Falling in love with someone assigned to kill you is a big hurdle to overcome. But all throughout, the romantic development aspect was very well done. That when it started I was like hooked and all in. And now close to the end of it, I can really believe in how strong their relationship has gotten. Kudos to that.

I am very curious to see how this will all be resolved in the remaining 50 pages or so. Really hoping that the author will be able to wrap it up satisfyingly.

Wow wow yeah Im definitely hooked now. Things are ramping up for sure.

Ooh ok that was an exciting chapter

That chapter was kinda hard, lot of telling and not showing. But I get that it had a lot to set up, so I'm hoping for no more info dumps like that moving forward.

Also that whole looking at herself in the mirror to describe what she looks like. I feel there are better ways to describe your first person narrator than resorting to that kind of cliche.

I almost laughed out loud at her having blue blood. Amazing.

Excited to read this, having really enjoyed the author's prev work. Interested to see how she'll handle a genre like this, which is pretty different from the more moody/gothic vibe of A Study in Drowning.
