This book is a lot better upon reread, but it might be because it’s hitting at the right time in my life. I’ve always loved Eva for being so soft and believing in love, but after reading the Caraval series, it’s just beautiful. A boy who has never been loved, who just really wants to love and to be loved, meeting a girl who has never been loved but has so much love to give, finally getting that love back 💕

I am oddly in love with this trilogy. I still think Luc and the vampires are unnecessary, and that Lala and Chaos are underdeveloped so I won’t give it 5⭐️ it is def better written than Caraval anyway. I want to love Jacks and Eva but I don’t like enemies to lovers, he’s not good enough for her, I just want him to be soft for her and to love each other. I don’t like all the YA angst

Yes nothing screams romance like
“I couldn’t see jacks but I can always recognize him by the cruelty in this voice.”
And
“ Jacks had touched her before, last night he had held her while she slept but he had acted as if that had been torture. His touch hadn’t been warm or curious”
Maybe I just don’t see the appeal of enemies to lovers?

I shouldn’t read YA when I know it’s not for me but it has the cutest and romantic fairytale feeling, with no smut or spice, wholesome…
But I don’t care for the angst, which is a shame because there is no plot just descriptions of smirks and beautiful eyes and her legs feeling like custard. She’s never had romance with anyone or a real conversation just threats bites a little tongue and a wedding?
