Do I Know What I'm Doing? The Answer is No.
So evidently, no one informed me I wasn't supposed to read this before I read Caraval but here we are and I have spoilers evidently? Did I enjoy this book nonetheless? Hell yes. I need to get my hands on the second book (and probably the Caraval series) as soon as possible.
The Tropes :
- [✔️] enemies to lovers
- [✔️] romantasy
- [✔️] wounded hero
- [✔️] single POV
The Characters
Evangeline: girlie pop was amazing and I love her so much. Her capability to continue to have compassion for everyone around her (until proven otherwise is needed) is admirable.
Jacks: I can't look at apples the same now. And for once in my adult life, I'm going after the blonde.
The Things I Loved
I loved the way this world is, despite being lost frequently.
The Things I Didn't Love
I didn't like not knowing a lot of what was happening within the universe but that was my own fault.
The Final Verdict
Be sure you read Caraval first
