Ugh, plot holes: Grim says he was never supposed to marry, that Nightshades don’t marry, then how do you explain the “wedding traditions” Isla asked about, how do you explain that guy being pissed that Isla was wearing such an important family heirloom (necklace)??? Also, all of a sudden they are duelling? It sounds like they had a convo about this but the reader didn’t read anything about it???

Ugh… I really want to DNF this book. It feels so disjointed. The author obviously knows where she wants the story to end, but I feel like she’s rushing the journey there and it’s so clunky.

The writing still feels *very* clunky. Like the author is just plodding along, determined to hash out her plot without caring too much about how she gets there. I am still not getting any connection to either Grim or Oro. Lots of things are happening and it feels really obvious that they are going to end up being big plot points, I wish they were dropped more casually.

I’m only 9% of the way in and the writing is clunky. Isla is just back with Grim and we get no time for her to sit with her emotions or for their relationship to build. So much has happened in just 9% and the plot feels rushed. I wonder why Isla is so distraught about having accidentally killed hundreds to save Grim, but doesn’t understand that if she dies, her people die with her. Where did that plot point go?
