I ended up buying this book from the authors kickstarter. The book itself is drop-dead gorgeous!! It's so beautiful 😍 I'm 100% in love with the art, the cover, and the illustrations. Gorgeous book.
Unfortunately, that's all the positive I have to say about the book. It's a massive shame with how gorgeous the physical copy is that the story doesn't live up to the cover. I found all 3 books incredibly confusing with no clear plot. The first book was disjointed with scenes that made no sense and didn't go together. I kept reading thinking that maybe it would get better. It didn't. In fact, if possible, book 2 was worse. There was no progression with whatever plot there was. No character growth or relationship growth with Rhys and the 3 guys. The whole thing with her mother didn't go anywhere. By the time the third book came around, I was ready for it to be over. Honestly, I should have stopped after book 1. I didn't enjoy the ending, nor did it make sense. I wish there was more time spent building up the world and the characters and had a clear and concise plot. All those elements were missing.
Again, the physical book is absolutely STUNNING! Just by the Kickstarter edition just for how pretty it looks on the shelves. Seriously gorgeous copy!
