Good lord that was a lot. I’m not sure how to feel about this book, it feels so BookTok like which is meh. I was confused about so many of the words and the schemes by everyone was good but the miscommunication trope is my least favorite. I also just don’t like the fast enemies to lovers trope. I like enemies to friends to lovers or something like that. It definitely gave BookTok fantasy rec

Sometimes I struggle seeing two characters who had such one sided beef all of the sudden fall in love but I can definitely see the dependency, which is 😏

Okayyy I’m sensing the connection between Aya and Will but there’s still so many plot lines and people to remember that I genuinely can’t keep up.

Why is this book lowk dragging
Also don’t understand why Aya hates Will soooo much but I can respect the enemies to lovers. Voting for Aidon!!! Also I normally can vaguely pick up on the fantasy lingo in a book, but for some reason none of this is sticking, so I really appreciate the dictionary and class order in the front and back of the book.

Strangely, feels a little slow. Also there are so many names and places to remember omg
Tbh the animosity between Aya and Will is almost too ruthless that I’m struggling seeing them getting past it, even though it’s obvious they will.

Yummy
