i’m kind of getting comfy with the book, as we’re getting deeper into the dynamic of the city & the dynamic between our main characters. although i feel like im grasping at the straws of emotional depth here 😭 and i get it! it’s a spicy spicy book for entertainment, but i keep getting tricked by these brief mentions of deep emotions and it leaves me wanting more.

okay so i’m definitely enjoying the tense moments — whether it’s the angst of catching ali, the tension between jafar and yasmina, etc. the action is where it’s at! i usually like flowery language but i find in this book it kinda drags things down a little for me. i also wish we could get more range from yasmina, less one-dimensional “i’ve had a hard life so im fighting for freedom”-ness + more emotion

It’s a fun read so far. I think as someone who’s never read dark romance before that I’m learning I like a bit of a slower burn and plot with a little spice and not the other way around. 😭
