If I was the editor, I keep saying that it would have been a better book if it was focused on Darce and Enva instead of Iris and Roman 🫠 Dacre has more presence and he only appeared at the end!!

Iris’s annoying arc 🥲 If I give a low rating, it’s because of how the author handled this part.

“You should have let him come with us.” - Iris
“This is war, Iris!” Forest cried. “This isn’t a game. This isn’t a novel with a happy ending. I saved you, because you are all I care about and you were all I could manage. Do you understand me?”
Main female lead proves to be an idiot as usual *rolls eyes*

Another annoying thing [Spoiler]
The so-called brother she was so desperate to find suddenly makes an appearance but then because in the scene the male lead was “sacrificed”, Iris doesn’t even give her “beloved” brother a backward glance— there’s not an even, “Oh my God, you’re alive! I miss you!” For the brother. Nope. Straight to, “What did you do to my husband of one day!” Urgh.

I think what I dislike about scenes where two of the main characters are split in the middle of a war is the narration. The narration is annoying. It enforces this image with in your face sort of writing; “look, he has blood dripping down his chin, he’s crawling, he can’t walk, he’s coming for her,” blah. It romantices rather highlight the anguish/fear. Minus 1000 stars 😕

My greatest pet peeve 🥹 Saying each other’s full names including middle names as they propose to one another
